Machine lost power during wash cycle.
If the electricity does power off in the middle of washing cycles the washing machine will turn off then. Some of the most common problems that will make your washer turn off during mid cycle can include thermostat failure or issues filling up with water for the rinse cycles or even problems with the pump and the hose that can stop your washer from draining the water. You should call a person that fixes washing machines to have a look and see what the problem is with your washing machine.
Mastermind 700 front loader. Why does it rattle and squeal in spin cycle?
Drum bearing problems and a water seal leaking would explain this. Open the door, reach in and grasp the inner tub, then lift and shake the inner tub to see if it has excess motion. It should remain tight and move with the outer tub only. If it is loose and moves, rattles or shakes then it is very likely that the inner tub has cracked or separated from the rear mounting (the spider mount) and would require replacement. The real issue is a either a broken spider mount and/or a bad bearing and seal. This is a difficult and expensive repair and not usually feasible.
Another possibility (not likely, but possible) would be a clothing item caught between the inner and outer tub. This also requires fairly extensive disassembly.
