Product review (5 stars): Washer Squealing!!!
Took some time to study up on the problems with the Whirlpool Cabrio HE Topload Washers and found the bearings fail pretty regularly.  After some troubleshooting, I looked to just replace the bearings, but found this kit here and went to work.

Plan about 4 hours to do this installation.  You definitely will want to make some space and take the time to clean the basket out while you're in there.  We have a family of 6 and the washer runs most of the time!

Also, don't be afraid to use the adhesive liberally!  After looking at our failed bearings, they had a significant amount of rust due to water damage.  The adhesive degrades with hot water and detergent over time causing the leak into the upper bearing.  Also, I used a little white grease to help repel any water that gets past the adhesive barrier.

Again...sure beats replacing the entire washer.  My parents had the same problem and it cost them >$300 for a repair service.  Much cheaper and self satisfying to make the repair yourself.
