Yes, it does indeed sound like it has bad bearings. You need a complete transmission and drive unit if the machine is covered by any type of extended warranty, you can get them to fix it free otherwise replace it.
You certainly can replace it with anything you like a vintage direct drive whirlpool product or a new Speed Queen TC five series these Washers are good replacements if you don’t care how much water, hot water, electricity, and detergent you used to wash clothing. When you compare these two machines with your current machine you will double your consumption of water, hot water, electricity, and detergent this may or may not be important to you. Otherwise get yourself a good front loader the Speed Queen front loader is your best bet of course but they’re quite expensive. John L |
