Thanks to all in advance,

Subject Clothes Washer is starting to make a significant amount of noise during the spin cycle, sounds like a bearing going bad. It's not quite up to a 737 at take off, but getting there. This thing sees a LOT of loads so I'm not surprised. Looking at the parts schematic found on this site, it looks like the bearing is in the gearbox. I assume there are some water seals that would also have to be replaced. Assuming the bearing must be replaced as part of the gearbox, is there anything else I need to get? The Laundress of the house gets worried when she is at risk of not being able to do laundry.

Thanks,

Nick
