You may be right. a piece of something may have gotten into the space between the wash tub and the containing drum. So when the spin cycle starts and the drums move around a lot then it jars the piece into the space where it can hit both. Sounds like you need to remove the wash drum and get the thing out. ...Did that sound easy? It's not... Search for instructions for disassembling your specific model to get a feel for the difficulty. If it is a front loader I would not even try it.

More than likely it's something like a wire from a brasiere, or something from a pocket that has dropped into the drum..
Use a torch, and look through the holes in the drum until you see the object.. then use a thin wire through the holes, to poke it to the front, if you remove the seal, or poke it towards the drain outlet, then clean out the pump filter.

KitchenAid Dishwasher Model KUDI25CHBL1. How do I get the screw out of the bottom without it spinning

It sounds like the water inlet valve has stopped letting water in. With no water the spray bar won't rotate as it is driven by the pump.

Generic videos.

On spin cycle sounds like change or rocks spinning around in drum.

Could be a bad bearing or something loose on the drum that doesn't rattle until you get up to spin speed. Look for something like pins, nails or screws stuck in the holes of the drum, or possibly under the protuberances (fins) inside the drum. Does the sound occur all through the spin cycle or only at top speed?

Whirlpool spin cycle rattling

Well, it just might be. :-) More than likely you have something in your machine basket that is loose. Probably a coin or something from clothes previously dried or washed in the machine. This is quite common, especially for folks who carry coins or loose objects in their pockets. Remove whatever is loose in the basket and you will have solved your problem.

Rinse and spin

there is a safety switch on the top...and when you close the lid it pushes down on that switch. investigate that switch and see if its just corroded or needs replacement...i have that same problem when i leave the lid open on my washer...then it works fine when i close it...so im figuring that your's thinks its still open. I hope this helps you out ! and give your wife a hug 8-)

Sounds like a loose screw/bolt/nut during the spin cycle

Hi,
There is nothing wrong with your machine. Don'f bother with the sound , You said you threw 2 pair of jeans, so its bottons are causing the sound against the drum during cycle. Finished your laundry and worry no more. To make sure, throw some another clothing asides form jeans, like shirts, and feel the normal silent of your machine.

Good Luck,
Eriez

Drum won't spin freely

Are you sure that there is nothing sticking through the holes in the drum like a nail etc or a screw from trouser pockets, it could be that the heating element has come loose and is scraping against the drum or that the bearings have gone.

Banging tumbler during spin cycle

Be certain that nothing got under the rubber skirt, pull it back and look /feel under it .
inside the tub are the large wiper arms solid and not come loose.
open the top access panel (3 screws in top rear )
and open the bottom access Panel (3 screws in bottom front)
Dissconnect power .
Look at the springs and arms that attach to the tub are they secure.
is the large stone concreate slabs secure.
move all these items and push at them all secure?
you can run it while open but the bottom has a switch on front right that has to be closed.
look watch listen.
