Noisy Spin Cycle

Hello,

The spin cycle is getting noisy. Here are two links showing it in operation from my iPhone:

Slower spin during startup:

Faster spin later in cycle:

I suspect this is a tub bearing issue (Part No. AP2045289) which sells for about $20. HOWEVER, I have seen some posts were folks replaced the tub bearing and the noise did not go away. There seems to be another bearing in the transmission brake assembly which is about $300.

Unfortunately, I cannot find any videos like mine that say the issue was resolved by placing the tub bearing.

I would like someone with more experience to review my videos and confirm my suspicion that it is a tub bearing issue.

Thanks,
GRH
