Started hearing a rubbing sound during the spin cycle. Do the bearings have a history of going bad? The motor struggles to get up to speed. Is it a motor problem, or a bearing problem? Is there a way to change the bearing, or is the only way to get it with a whole new drum liner? Saw that it was coated in a blue grease, but couldn't find any. Tried to lube it with white lithium grease.
