Can you tell me what parts I would need to order? Is this something my husband (who is mechanically inclined) do? I'll also follow up with Whirlpool on the tub warranty...I have only used HE detergents.

If trouble getting bearings, you can get a auto parts store to mike the bearings to size them and order them. I would try to get sealed bearings. Your basket support spider might be bad when you pull out everything, so just assume it is and add to expense estimate, maybe $ 200 in parts total.

Looked at the parts listed on your website, and do not see them.
