Aqualtis bearings
It could be the bearings on the way out I found that they are not replaceable so as mine had failed big time it was a jet taking off at every spin :) I got another broken machine and swopped the drum I was told by Hotpoint the bearings for them were not available as a kit and they wanted around £100 to fix it Hmm thought I and did it fo £30 myself..!

ready for take off Thanks Austin, your description is most accurate. my machine once spun like a silent dream and is now a noisy nightmare. its such a shame they dont build them to be serviced. im reluctant to buy new. was it a big job replacing the whole tub? | ||

Noisy bearings
No to be honest I cheated as the spare machine I got was in pristine condition and no noise at all on the bearing so I swapped the electrics and door as it was easier and quicker than changing the drums it also means I have a fair few spares.
One little tip I discovered on removing mould off the door seal was put it in the dishwasher :) Austin | ||

Me i would start thinking if i where in your shoes, and if this was me with my whirlpool duet. Maybe start thinking about buying a replacement washer rather than having it repaired, because me my whirlpool duet dates from 2004 and is 7 years old and i am thinking after 10 years. Or if i notice the whirlpool duet that i have, starting to have problems both. Washer and dryer set will be replace by brand new machines.
