It appears that the basket is loose from the washer. From a parts list it looks like it might be the hub nut or locking ring. Grinding noise and severe vibration.
How do I remove the agitator to get to the hub nut?
Thanks

Yes you will have to remove the agitator to get to the hub nut.

It sound like you may have a bad tub bearing.

Here is a link to your washer model wwre5240d.
