Washer squeals during spin cycle only.   No unusual noise during wash cycle.  

And by squeal, I mean like a banshee.  Being killed.  By a bobcat.  And a lion.  LOUD.

Disconnected the belt to see if I could detect and grinding in either bearing when turning by hand.  Nothing.

Tried running it w/o the belt on.   Figured if it still squealed, it was a motor bearing.  If it didn't it was in the drum.  But it won't spin w/o belt on.  Sensors I guess.

Spinning the drum by hand feels ok, but right at the end of the spin, it has a few squeaks.

So thinking and writing this out, I'm guessing a bearing on the drum.

Am I thinking correctly, or did I miss something?[/quote]
