Washer sounds like a jet airplane taking off during spin cycle. Could this be bad bearings?
I had a Maytag washer almost 5 years old that sounded like a Jet Engine taking off during the spin cycle. It was the Tub Bearing - there are kits to do this yourself. To hire someone it would of cost almost as much as it would be to buy a new Washing machine. Never again Maytag - it was whats inside that mattered so I bought an LG washer.
If you let it go too long your going to wind up flooding underneath the washing machine with Brown gunk

Yes it is more than likely the main bearing due water leaking into the bearing from seal failure. You need to replace it as a kit if this is the problem. You should also check the holes in the inner bowl sometimes a nail & bra wire can cause the same noise.
Yes unfortunately. but it's not terribly difficult to do. There are many how-to videos online

I do know there is a set of bearings on the drum drive shaft. There is an inner and an outer. Some places mention that these bearings are no longer available. However, I found on ebay a gentlemen who sells these bearing and the seals in a kit for about $80.00. It comes with instructions on how to repair and will save a lot of money. I have done this once already to the same washer, now I am doing it again. If you search on ebay maytag neptune parts you will find his listing for a bearing kit. He also describes the jet engine noise.

Your maytag is really an amana and the bearings are bad. Yes it does cost a lot. If i were you i would buy another washer. Get a whirlpool. (whirlpool now owns maytag)

Probably a broken strut or support. some call it a shock absorber.
