My washer has been screeching during the spin cycle, only when the water is drained out of the drum. The sound appears to be getting worse. Also, it makes this very weird noise right before it shuts down. The machine cleans clothes fine. However, this noise is annoying and it seems like sooner or later something is going to break. Any information would be much appreciated.

The transmission bearing has gone bad, that's the noise in the video.

Let us know how it goes if you decide to fix it.
