It takes the water out but I have to wring out the clothes. I have no experience with mechanical things and desperately need some help.

Then open the door and press the lid switch with a screwdriver or something so that you can watch it. The water should start to pump out (the tub will not spin at this time). Then once the water is out the tub should spin at a good speed and after a few minutes take the towels out and see if you can ring water out. If it takes a long time to pump out (shouldn’t take much longer than a 1-1/2 or 2 minutes) and the spin is not long enough the drain may be partially clogged. This wouldn’t explain the noise unless the clog was in the pump and normally that would stop the motor completely and the washer wouldn’t wash, spin or pump out but it could be worth looking into. If the tub never spins or spins slowly you have a problem with the clutch or the transmission. It is a lot to fixing this problem and you must be very mechanically inclined. We have ruled out the coupling because it will wash and the lid switch because it will pump out.

The clutch doesn’t cost that much but like I said I don’t know which one is your problem. If it is the transmission no I wouldn’t put that much into it.
