Washer smoking inside. Black particles on inside on the bottom where pancake motor at. What do you think this is caused by?
Look in back of unit, just small black particles very small I don’t know what they are. Like small fakes. Went to the front spin the spin basket in the front it squeals when you spin it by hand. Sounds like a bearing. What do you think? Can you replace the bearings in this unit? Do you have to replace the whole rear tub?

It does sound like the bearing is bad. This will cause the burning smell. Usually a burning rubber smell. The basket gets loose and drops down, rubbing against the gasket in spin. This is why you get your shavings and a loud noise. From the parts look up the bearings are apart of the rear half of the outer tub. The drive basket shaft may be damaged as well. This repair is usually not cost effective.
