Washer squeals during spin cycle only. No unusual noise during wash cycle.

And by squeal, I mean like a banshee. Being killed. By a bobcat. And a lion. LOUD.

Disconnected the belt to see if I could detect and grinding in either bearing when turning by hand. Nothing.

Tried running it w/o the belt on. Figured if it still squealed, it was a motor bearing. If it didn't it was in the drum. But it won't spin w/o belt on. Sensors I guess.

Spinning the drum by hand feels ok, but right at the end of the spin, it has a few squeaks.

So thinking and writing this out, I'm guessing a bearing on the drum.

Am I thinking correctly, or did I miss something?
