I have a Maytag MVWB835DW3 that is about 3 years old. We have started to hear a squeaking or squealing noise, but only during the first agitation cycle after filling. So within the 1st five minutes or so of the cycle. It does not make the noise really after that. The sound does seem worse as the load gets larger. We have removed the agitator to check for debris underneath it and found nothing. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

It sounds like possibly the transmission bearing is going out:
