During spin cycle, it sounds like an airplane taking off. Repair guy says bearings need to be replaced @ $800!! Any way to find parts and do it ourself?
Yes you can buy the bearings and lip seal online,but you need to dismantle the whole unit and split the tub to change the bearings,its a lot of work,if your mechanically inclined it shouldn't be a problem,then when dismantled drive out bearings from front and back and make sure new bearings are set in place properly with no gaps in either edge,replace lip seal and reassemble unit and test run

It sounds like the bearings are going bad. Try spinning the drum with your hand while it is empty. It should spin nice and smooth. If the rotation feels a little rough and noisy, you might have a problem. You can double check by taking the drive belt off and try shaking the pulley. If there is "play" when shaking the pulley, the bearings are most likely toast. The inner stainless drum rides on two bearings which sit in the rear of the outer plastic drum. The whole plastic drum and bearings come as one piece and go for $150. It would cost about the price of a new maching to have someone come out and repair it for you. It sounds like kenmore has had a bearing problem which is pretty rediculous considering how much these things cost. Sears said, "those tend to go in a few years", which is criminal especially since the warrenty is usually conveniently exopired by the time this problem happens. If you are handy, have a spare day, and can remember how to put a washing machine back together, go for it. I did it and it was not a fun time. There is a lot of sharp metal edges in the machine so wear gloves. good luck

Hi,
The inner bearing will be faulty kindly replace the inner bearings as well as water seal before that kindly check whether the drum is freely moving with out any shaking If you find any shaking means you are suppose to change the drum only
