First make sure on the machine that all adjustable legs under neath are touching the floor and it is level if all is good. THis could be a case that the weight that balances the machine inside is either loose or off this is a big steel weight or a concrete weight under neath the machine and behind its cover from the rear.

I had this one come up on a washer I had professionally installed for a client. When I looked into it I found there were shipping blocks made of squeaky Styrofoam the installers left in place. Only made the noise when it was full of water and working hard shifting back and forth in agitation. It said right in installation instructions to take the shipping blocks out too.

washer only fills about a cup of water and stops, works on spin

there is a good chance it does but you can check the transmisson coupler and make sure it is in good shape.this coupler is located inbetween the motor and the transmission. checking this may help in the long run you may need to replace the transmission.
you can also remove the inner tub and make sure there is nothing stuck in there that would cause this problem

That is the braking mechanism in the transmission. Not usually worth fixing but will probally last quite a while.
