My washing machine is LG intello washer 7kg WM-1290 FHB. When the machine is in spining mode, it makes a lot of noise. I would appreciate if someone could tell me the cause of this and any remedial measures I can take.

Bearings rarely fail in LG washers.

A strong possibility would be a failing Hall Effect Sensor. If the washer *growls* during spin this is usually the Hall Sensor.

If a *clicking* sound is occurring--this may be debris in the tub scraping against the spin basket. This usually requires a major tear-down of the tub assembly to gain access into the tub. Although this is fairly rare---it is usually a bra-wire or a nail.

NOTE:

A *faint* clicking sound when the tub is turned by hand (slowly) is NORMAL.

hi sardar, when the m/c is off open the door & put your hand on the top stainless steel drum & see if there's any movement if there's any at all it mean's the bearings are on there way out,the bearings are very reasonable in price any where from £10-50 but a very big job to change.hope this help's.
