whirlpool washer

During the wash cycle on my top-loading High Efficiency Washer there is a loud sound coming from below the motor. Any suggestions?

Probably the nut holding the main drive pulley has come loose and the pulley and/or belt are rubbing on the belt guard. Remove the belt guard and check the nut. If it is loose, remove it and apply some blue loctite threadlocker to the shaft threads and re-tighten the nut.

well i cannot figure out how to get this. How do I get the washer apart to check? like having trouble how to get the front off .

You have to tilt it back and gain access from underneath.
