Default Loud bang to pipes when clothes washer stops filling

Thats cool - I was going to describe how you would need to open up the wall,
find the supply lines and install a water hammer arrestor. This one just
screws on. Pretty cool, great idea.

Hi:

I have a Maytag Neptune clothes washer, MAH4000AWW that slams / hammers
the water supply lines when it completes the fill portion of a cycle.
I am wondering if the water valve (p/n: 22002795) is going bad ? Other
then the noise the machine fills OK. Thanks

You didn't say whether this is a new condition (previously quiet) or not.

But, when I had the same problem I solved it with a couple of "Mini
Arrestor" devices made specifically for washing machine use, like the ones
part way down this page:
