Do-It-Yourself Story

I viewed videos on the internet sponsored by Appliance Parts Pros that helped me diagnose that it was a set of bad bearings. I took the machine apart and replaced both bearings, the seal at the yoke, the seal between the two tub halves, and the tub to door gasket. I also spent a considerable amount of time cleaning out the soap scum and black/brown gunk throughout the washing machine.
