If you hear a loud clunking sound when the machine is in operation, it is likely caused by the wear or looseness of the drive belt. In this scenario the belt needs to be replaced. The sound may also be due to an arm of the drum that is loose. To determine this, put on some gloves and take off the cabinet to get to the drum. Gently jiggle the drum and if you feel it is very loose, this could be the issue.

A towel or any other weighty object that gets caught in the drum can cause the drum to thud. It could also be that the drum has slipped off the rollers it is set on to spin. You can feel and see whether this is the case by opening the washer door. You can also shake it to make sure that nothing has moved.

The most likely reason for the sound of tapping is the presence of air in the water pipe. It is possible to fix this by buying an water hammer stopper which you can put between the supply valve of the washing machine and the water hammer stopper. This will absorb hammer vibrations, preventing them from causing damage to pipes.

If you're unsure of the source of the sound, call a white-goods repairman to diagnose the issue and find the most effective solution.
