Over the last year or so this old washer has been getting really loud. Now that we're home more I really notice it. It sounds like a train rolling by along with a metallic clatter that says something is clearly wrong. I can also lift the inner drum and move it about an inch. I'm guessing the bearings are shot.
Looking at a parts diagram online I don't see bearings, I just see an outer drum which I assume has bearings installed, and it's a pricey part. I do see bearing kits available inexpensively, and I have automotive tools to remove and install bearings that look like that. Any advice on which way to go?
Also is there a service manual available for this washer?
Thanks!
