Hi folks, looking for some advice for my old Speed Queen HA7221. The washer has had an intermittent leak from the bottom for maybe a year now. It was only happening with heavy loads so we were just keeping them smaller. Now it has started squealing during spin and is leaking pretty consistently. I took the front cover off today and it helpfully shot some water into my face during spin, so I was able to locate the leak. It looks to be coming from the main bearing (see photo, location of water leak is marked with an arrow), however, looking at the parts diagram there are a LOT of seals in there, some of which are pretty pricey if I were to try to replace them all. Could anyone offer some advice about how likely it is that this is a main bearing seal issue? I think I can get the part for less than $50, which I wouldn't mind if it would definitely fix the problem. However, this also looks like a difficult repair. Is it time to call it a day on the old Speed Queen? Thanks in advance for any help.
