This washer has a squealing & squeaking type noise in the final spin. A few weeks ago I was here for the same symptoms and out of balance spinning but I could not reproduce the noise. The snubber was worn out and I replaced the thrust bearing as well. The noise at this point is apparently intermitent. I solved the out of balance issue with the new snubber but the noise is still the complaint. I have run a full load of clothes in the washer and no noise was reproduced. Turning the motor and drain pump by hand are both smooth. I have advised the customer that we may have to wait until the noise becomes more consistent. Please advise if any suggestions. Thanks
Also if you replaced the thrust bearing it probably came with different size washers that fit under the c-clip. Just double check that the brake is getting fully released when the thrust bearing is pushing up on it and the basket is spinning freely. Usually if your brake pads are worn out the unit will screech pretty loud when the brake is engaged.

I had one that brake pads wore down and then started squealing . I also had another one with noise at the end of the spin cycle, it was the brake assembly spring. Noise may only be duplicated with a full load of wet clothes.
Take the brake assembly apart, file down both ends of the spring where each coil ends. I also add a little grease on the ends. Other option is to replace the spring. If you take apart the bottom end of this washer apart without the brake tool.There is a spring inside that will cause bodily damage if you don’t disengage it to remove brake.
