My washer is just over a year old and the noise it makes when it is agitating is unbearable. It washes good and does everything the way it suppose to, but the noise is the most unbearable screeching/grinding noise. What can it be? It has not been moved since we put it in.
Es esta una buena pregunta?

Cause 1
Tub Bearing
The tub bearing is mounted in the middle of the outer tub. The tub bearing helps to keep the inner tub spinning smoothly. Replacing the tub bearing is a very involved repair and will require disassembling most of the washer. If the tub bearing is defective, we recommend replacing both the outer tub and bearing as an assembly if the manufacturer offers the components together.
Cause 2
Tub Seal and Bearing Kit
The tub bearing is mounted in the middle of the outer tub. The tub bearing helps to keep the inner tub spinning smoothly. If the washer is noisy during the spin cycle or is leaking from the bottom of the tub near the transmission, the tub seal and bearing are likely defective. Replacing the tub bearing is a very involved repair and will require disassembling most of the washer. If the tub bearing is defective, we recommend replacing the outer tub and bearing at the same time.
Cause 3
Rear Drum with Bearing
The rear drum has a bearing or bearings in it to keep the inner tub spinning smoothly. If the tub bearing system is defective the washer can become very noisy. On some machines bearings are sold separately from the rear drum, however we recommend replacing both the outer drum and bearing as an assembly if the manufacturer offers the components together because removing and pressing in the new bearing can be exceptionally difficult. Be aware that replacing the outer tub and bearing is also not easy and can be very costly.

I had the same issue, but the problem were with my suspension rods. The grinding noise was coming from a nut scraping against the bottom plate of the washing machine. The nut is the one holding the large belt drive wheel. The springs in the suspension rods were not able to support the weight of the tub, causing the tub and assembly to sag too low.
Try this, does the grinding noise go away during the spin cycle, when the water is out of the tub? Remove the front cover of the washing machine, can you make the sound get worse by pushing down on the tub and make it go away when you lift up on the tub? If it does, it might be the suspension rods. If it has no effects, then it could be a bearing.
