Whrilpool Wtw4800xq0 Clicking Noise

My Whrilpool washer model WTE4800XQ0 is not responding. All it does it make a clicking noise coming from underneath the washer. Its not the lid switch making thr clicking noise. Its non stop. I cant stoo it by pressing thr cancel button. None of thr lights under the timer come on anymore as well. I cant even go into diagnostic mode. There is water in the machine still. Could it be the acuator?
