Loud grinding motor protesting humming w/no spinning or agitating

Our washer just stopped agitating /spinning and makes a horrible loud engine noise during the spin cycle. It is totally unusable although the water fills and it did manage to drain the water that was in it despite the awful noise. When you try to turn the agitaor by hand it is barely moveable at all, and the drum won't budge -  any suggestions or instructions? thanks!!! jt (mod 20202 70 series washer)

The drum/agitator bearings are bad I believe, or the gearbox has been damaged. This is an expensive repair. I would strongly consider buying a new washer. This is a great time to buy appliances since the stores are really competing, and the prices are at their lowest.

Washer makes rumbling noise during spin cycle

You have to take the whole drum out and IT IS YOUR BEARING(s). Order all four of them

Washer model PAVT244AWW agitation noise

Sounds like the motor is going bad. It will only get louder before it finally stops. There is a device that assists the agitation motion that may be bad or is going bad.

My Capacity Plus Admiral Washer will spin and agitate, but it makes a loud grinding noise.

Well, Sounds to me like the Bearings are going out, but it could make that noise a good while, before it goes completely out.. Replacement would possably be more cost effective, Kinda hard to beleive !!!!!!
