My Inglis washer started banging on spin cycle a couple of months ago and I took it out of commission but was in no hurry because I had a spare. Well the spare is having issues so time to fix this one. I am an extreme novice to appliance repair, but am an expert googler and follow instructions well.
The banging occurs only on spin cycle. All other cycles work normally. The amt of load does not effect banging, it does so loudly and on all settings with all load sizes. I have checked the leveling and it was just fine. I took the case off and checked the springs and counter balance which all look fine.
Now where to go? Do I need to take the tub off to look at the triangle supports or is there a less invasive step?

The first thing you will need to check is the drive block. If it is bad, the unit will make a banging noise during the spin cycle. You can remove the agitator to inspect the drive block. If it is good, then check the clutch and the transmission in the unit. Part number: AP2905773

Thanks for the help Jeff. Any suggestions on where to find a spanner wrench? I found one online that I could order, but looked at lowes/home depot/ace and can't find one.

So how can you tell if drive block needs replaced. I don't see any obvious cracks in it.... do I move on to the clutch?

There is 2 tabs on the top of the spin tube that goes into the drive block. You will see shavings and the top of the drive block stripped out if the drive block is bad.

Okay so drive block didn't really look bad but I went ahead and changed it out. Looking at the clutch now and I don't see any wear on it either..... should I just put it back together and road test it?

If the clutch is good, I would try it and see if the noise is still there. Also, make sure the liquid is still in the balance ring on the top of the inner basket. You can check the Teflon pad on the floater plate and see if one is broke or bad.

So I put it all back together and the banging is gone. It is walking around a little bit but nothing like it was. I consider it a success. Thanks Jeff!
