Model # GLTR1670AS0
The spin cycle seems to be louder than usual no matter what speed I pick, and now I am finding black or grey marks on laundry when the cycle is done, some in print form like the holes in the tub.  Wondering the cause?  Bearings, Transmission?

This is a Front load machine*

no transmission in this machine, if machine getting loud in spin , i would say bearings, check inner basket for play. check rear where pulley goes on shaft for water grease stains.

Thanks for the reply Bigbuck!

Check rear by removing rear cover? Any helpful diagrams to be found? How difficult to replace the bearings?

the bearing job would be real hard job.
