Washes clothes fine. But when spinning the sound is extremly louder. Has increased in the past few days. Am I expecting a bearing or something going out?

Depends on the sound. Can you post a video to youtube so we can hear it? Tilt machine back, remove belt guard and make sure the larger drive pulley nut hasn't loosened (common problem). If it has, apply some Loctite blue 242 threadlocker to the threads before tightening. If that is not the problem, could be bearings in transmission (not serviceable) or dry seals. Here is a bulletin on the dry seal problem.

Awesome info. Here is a load I did today. Normal weight load. No issues with balance.
This seems a little quieter than it was last night during spin. That load could have been heavier as well than todays.

That sounds like gearcase bearings to me. You would have to replace the gearcase.

Is there a video of this gear box replacement? Or anything close? Special tools?
