Hello Jon, If the spin bearings were bad the unit would sound like a train going through the laundry room when in the spin cycle. I'm sorry but we need to ask you to post a new question including the model number from the units' ID tag so we can look at the configuration of the design you have in your home. This will enable us to better diagnose the issue for you. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.
