The damage to the machine needs to be looked at to see if it can work ok or needs repairing.
Why was the repair man so expensive ?
Maybe get price of another repair company ?
only you can decide wether you want to do job yourself or to get new machine with warranty.

Size or part number for wheel bearings for toyota camry 94

If you have the bearings out then the number embossed in the face of the bearings is the part number and is good for all brands of bearings . If you do not have the bearings out then go to a bearing shop (cbc,bearing service, timken,skf etc) and they will have the numbers for your vehicle probably in a kit package. half the price of genuine for the same quality.. Just take the model, year , 2 or 4 wd and vin number to match the car with the bearing kit.

Noisy during spin cycle. REAL NOISY $400.00 to repair? First a computer recall ang now a $400.00 repair. Bearing and seal kit. Can this be done with common tools and some mechanical skills?

The following may or may not answer your question, but following is the Whirlpool Service Manual for their Cabrio washer (basically the same as the Sears Oasis)

https://secured.whirlpool.com/Service/SrvTechAdm.nsf/2cd44500d572193285256a45004fd9d6/409753510a90c8be852571e90073421b/$FILE/8178583.pdf

This should give you an idea as to whether you can repair it yourself.

Kenmore Elite HE3t broken belt, maybe?

Chances are due to the description of your problem, especially the noise you describe, is most likely a serious issue. If it sounded like a jet engine when going into spin, the rear bearing may be shot which breaks the belt. This happens over time from using too much sudsy detergent and it drys out the seal and binds up the basket shaft and pow, it blows out the belt. Forget about fixing it, its a gonner! (Sorry) If you replace it with another High efficency machine, READ THE DIRECTIONS AND FOLLOW THEM TO THE LETTER. Especially the use of He detergents only!!

Neptune washer bearing problem Tony tool seems to over simplify

I rented the tool and it worked fine. The replacement steel washer had an extra rubber insert that took me a few assemble/test/disassemble cycles to find. That cost me time and the $90 late surcharge on the rental. All told though, it went as described online and in the dvd that came with the rental. Just see that the replacement parts fully match what you are replacing.

My question is whether someone else has done this and had the new bearings last more than a couple months. Two and a half months in, the washer is winding up as when the first bearings went bad. This is not a good sign, and I question the quality of the bearings.

Any feedback?

Bearing or gearbox noise on spin

It is a pleasure for me to offer some assistance to users all over the world. The problem you are describing to me is a very common for any amana, speed queen washers. The tub seal leaks and washes the lubricant from the upper bearing making the roaring noise in spin. The bearing needs replacement now, also the tub seal comes as a kit to rebuild all the sealing surfaces. It also does require a complete dissasembly to install the new kit plus the bearing. I would charge 3 hours labor @ 75/hr and the parts would be around $100 for the hub-n-seal kit and the bearing. However you may want to consider a new machine with a better warranty (extended warranties are a MUST these days......BUY ONE with any new appliance. Hope this helps let me know if you have any questions. Unfortunatly these Speed queen design washer have a myriad of design problems and this is only one of them.
