[LG top load washing machine noises] A “tak-tak” jamming noise is heard during spin cycle.

Troubleshooting

Foreign objects (coins, keys, hair pins, memory wires) collide with the tub and create rattling noises.
Be sure to remove foreign objects from laundry before washing.

Is a foreign object caught in between holes on the tub?

➔ If a foreign object is caught in between holes on the tub, it may scratch the outer tub and create a noise when the tub spins.

This is not a washing machine defect, and when a noise is heard, stop the washing machine and simply remove such foreign objects to solve the problem. (bra memory wire)

Removing coins and wires from the gap in the tub

Did you wash a cloth with an iron button or zipper?

➔ When the zipper of pants or a button on a jacket collides with the tub, a noise may be heard.

Before washing, empty all pockets, close zippers and button up clothing.
This also reduces the spin time.
