You can buy a "pipe hammer arrestor" at your local home improvement center. You will need two - one each for hot and cold. Basically, it is a piece of pipe that uses the air trapped in the pipe to absorb the shock when the valves close quickly.
It depends on where it is dripping. The spinning cycle of the machine might be causing the pipes to loosen up. You might want to check out the pipes if they are loose.
No reason why not - simply run the machine 'empty' (with no washing in) - and follow the instructions on the packaging. It's a good idea - especially if you're in a 'hard water' area. Performing periodic cleaning of an empty machine will prolong its life.
Washing machines are connected to your mains water supply so either there is a problem with your water supply in as much as it is continually leaking when it's not supposed to be in use, or, more likely, there is a blockage in the machine or the water pipes immediately surrounding it which is causing water to flood back out of the machine. It's usually a small item of clothing like a sock (or a collection of them) that has worked its way out of the machine via that gap at the front of the drum just next to the door, and is now blocking your pipes. You may find water bubbling back out of your sinks and bath, depending on their proximity to the washing machine. You need a plumber, quick!
could be air in the pipes. Makes a banging sound until the air is released. Look for a valve
air in the water lines causes banging and whistles/screams. Turn off main water, turn on the faucet, turn main water back on, and it should force the air out.
It is actually required in model codes as it preheats the water to the machine
To prevent clogs in washing machine pipes, the best ways are to avoid overloading the machine, use a lint trap or filter, clean the machine regularly, and avoid washing items that shed a lot of lint or debris.
Sounds to me like you have a clog in one of your pipes. This causes water from the washing machine to drain into other pipes instead of going down the main line properly. Check the bathtub when the washing machine is draining... they're notorious for filling with old yicky washing machine water! The clog can possibly be in a line ion the house, or possibly be caused by roots in the main line. Sounds like it's time to hire a plumber! Good luck!!
To prevent pipes from banging in your home, you can try installing water hammer arrestors, securing loose pipes, adjusting water pressure, and insulating pipes to reduce vibrations.

Raise the room temperature, or place a hot water bottle inside the machine, and allow the ice to melt in the pipes. Hopefully, the plastic pipes will take the expansion from the ice and not spring a leak.
Water banging in pipes is often caused by air pockets or water hammer, which is the sudden stop of water flow in the pipes. This can be resolved by bleeding the air out of the pipes, securing loose pipes, or installing water hammer arrestors to absorb the shock of water flow.
It doesn't pump the water in, where the hoses attach to the washing machine is a valve that opens and lets the water in. The pressure in the line forces the water in the same way it does when you turn on a faucet.
There could be several reasons for brown water in your washing machine, such as rusty pipes or sediment buildup in your water supply. It is recommended to check the water source and consult a professional if the issue persists.
It would burn out the pump motor after a while. I don't recommend doing it.
