If your noise in spin cycle sounds like a jet airplane, then you need W11393685 gearcase. The bearings are not available separately.

so you did not hear the noise on the video?

@dashriprok is correct about the jet airplane noise being the gearcase, but yours sounds more like a rattling noise in spin.

Unplug the washer and check your rotor bolt and rotor first. Make sure your rotor bolt didn't come loose.

Here's your rotor bolt: W10752189

This video shows you how to access it:

Also, check to make sure the rotor is not cracked.

Here's the rotor for your model:
Rotor W10754161

No, it sounds more like a rattling sound.

If the rotor bolt and rotor are fine, it could still be the bearings in the gearcase.

I haven't replaced the gearcase(transmission) on this model as of yet.

Here's the gearcase(transmission) for your model, if needed: Gearcase W11393685

There is a video AppliancePartsPros just posted that gives you more detail on how to do it:
