When the spin cycle and the noise like jet running, I did not know the problem from the transmission or from bearing. please tell me what to do next step.
Make sure that in tank has not got the stranger a subject. Often this spring from feminine underbodice (bustgalter). Shine through holes in drum and rock slightly the drum.
Yes, its the bearings,, if your at all confident, then you can change yourself, dismantle of the machine is easy and self explanatory as you go, once apart, drum removed, undo spindle on back, remove it, split the drum , knock through the spindle , there's your bearings in back of drum, you need a few bits of timber to keep off floor, knock out rear bearing first from inside of drum, then turn over and remove inner with seal,, to put back in, use the old bearings to knock new in, as you dont want to damage new ones,, remember only hit outer edge when fitting them,, take your time, your be fine,

Hi and welcome to FixYa,
These are the bearings making noise.

However.. this is not a task the average mechanic will be able to accomplish. It involves complete disassembly of the cabinet, the removal of the outer tub front cover and finally removal of the inner tub.
Additional issues that can be encounterd are:
1. Establishing a proper "Tub balance" post bearing / seal change
2. Outer tub seal leaking in the front of the machine.
3. Drive belt damage
4. Tub spider damage if the bearing is very difficult to remove.
This is one of those tasks that has resonably priced spare parts for the initial problem but, can very easily result in the need for several other spares and added expenses.
If your going to DIY just understand what your getting into and take your time. Make sure to clean the front outer tub seal quite well as it will leak if there is even a hint of debris on the seal post repair.
Thanks for choosing FixYa.
