Where is the clicking coming from?

Is it coming from the top or the bottom?

If it is coming from the top inside check the drum for nails or bra wires.

If it is coming from the bottom remove the front panel and see if you can tell what is clicking.

Here is a link to your washer model WLSE3150A0WW.

The clicking is coming from the bottom.

I took the front panel and ran the washer through a cycle. The clicking appears to be coming from the motor or the transmission.

To better describe the clicking, which sounds like centrifical clutch with ears not engaging. Also, the clicking makes the lights dim in surrounding rooms.

There is a clutch on the bottom of the motor.

Remove the belt and run the washer and see if you still get the noise.

If you do then you know it is ether the clutch or the motor.
