Here is a link to another washer that makes the same sound http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auE2a8ixk-A

I have a noisy Whirlpool wtw8800yc0 mainly noisy on Spin, very noisy (like an airplane taking off)

Checked underneeth no grease spots or water leak.

Did change the Tub hub assembly (Do I have to put any grease under any of these parts?)

If I turn the tub by hand I can hear somekind of light grinding ?

Also noticed that when i rotate the basket there is like a brake that slows it down.

Ran the diagnostic self test and all good.

Works perfectly beside the loud noise on spin, this wahser is just about 2 years old.

Any idea

How to differenciate a problem with the transmission, the coupler, and tub bering ?

Thanks

Last night took it apart and pulled the basket out to see if anything was stuck or blocking but all clear.

It sounds like an American top loader? Sorry, I've never worked on one.

Definitely dry bearings somewhere.
