I have read the same thing about some maytag washers, but my GE makes a loud noise when spinning. I am thinking the the tub bearing???? It';s not leaking though. I am an auto mechanic. Could I replace this on my own? There is not much I can't do on a car.

Thanks for the advise

It is possible that it is the bearing but check to see if something it stuck in one of the holes in the tub.

If it is a bearing noise then most likely it will have to be replaced.

Here is a link to your washer model WJSE3110A0WW.

I have a GE clotheswasher, too. It makes all kinds of noise during the spin cycle. If I replace the tub bearing, is there anything else I should replace while I have it all torn apart? Thanks

Thanks Sheila, are there any parts that I should order besides the bearing? Should I replace the seal? Are the nuts reusable? I want to order everything before I tear it down, because it still works fine, just getting noisy.

Yes you should replace the seal.

The nut can be reused if you get it off in on piece, sometimes it is seized on so hard you have to split it to get off so it is best to order one.

Using penetrating fluid and letting it stand for a while before you try will usually work.

You should also order the hub.

Well, ordered tub bearing. It is just a washer. It was NOT bad. The bearing in the transmission is bad. Ordered the transmission. Installing today. If you have this type of washer and it is noisy when on spin cycle, you probably need a transmission. Not just a tub bearing. Order the split ring and nut (nut is left hand thread!) as you will most likely break them taking them off. The transmission comes with a tub seal so no need to order.
