When my washer spins on high it makes a loud banging and you can see where the metal tub is hitting the door and it smells like burnt rubber and when you open the door smoke comes out.
Beverly for Model Number WCVH6600HGG
Answer Hello Beverly. Based on the information you provided, you will need to order and replace the rear outer tub assembly WH45X10071 on the unit. The bearings are bad and will cause the issue you are having. You can not order the bearings separately.
Washer only makes loud chirping noise on fast spin, wife also said it smoked when spinning at high speed when making noted noise. Rear bearing?
Al for Model Number Wcvh6600hww
Answer Hello Al,
It sounds like the belt was slipping causing the chirping and smoke. Be careful not to overload the unit as this is the most common reason for this complaint. Also if the rear bearings were bad it would be more of a grinding noise.
Can you buy just the bearing?
Rich for Model Number WCVH6260FWW
Answer Hello Rich. No, you will need to order the outer tub assembly WH45X10071 for the bearings. They are not available separately. Hope this helps.
Everything works and when it's time to wash, the center piece dosen't spin. So is it because it's loose? How do I remove the center piece so I could tighten it? Thank you.
Afa for Model Number WBXR2060V1WW
Answer Hi Afa. You might have a belt part # WH1X2026,that needs replaced. The motor can also be at fault since it reverses rotation in spin. The motor part # is [WH49X10035]. It Is a kit with other parts as well. Thank you.
Where do I get the instruction/repair manual for replacing the rear tub assembly?, Thanks again, Buddy

assembly is part of the outer tub rear half. The outer
tub assembly is supported by 2 suspension springs
and 4 dampers. Each spring is located between the
top of the tub assembly and a cabinet top brace,
one on each side. Washer stabilization is achieved
by the use of 4 dampers that are located between
the bottom of the tub assembly and chassis, 2 per
side.

Buddy for Model Number wbvh5100hww
Answer Hello Buddy. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the tub bearing is bad. You will need to turn the inner tub by hand and see if it is loose or dragging. Also in spin cycle if it roars, the bearing is bad, and you will need to replace the outer tub assembly WH45X10071. Hope this helps.
