Did you remove the travelling support at the back of washer and what kind of noise u heard when it spin??
Testimonial: "It is the bearings in the washer that has went out when it spins out."
SOURCE: Rattling noise during high speed spin
sounds as if you might have a bad rear bearing, real obnoxious almost painful to listen too kinda sounds. big job, but might have some part warrentee depending on age of unit
SOURCE: My whirlpool duet washer is making a funny noise
try removing the top cover to the unit, 3 screws across the back. after ermoving check to see exactly wehre noise is coming from. some times a solid "smack " witha screwdriver will quiet teh dispensor motor if needed

The noise could be caused by the main bearing going out in the rear outer tub that the inner basket is supported by. This is a expensive repair and a complete tear down of the unit. If you want to make sure of a noise you have to run unit partially disassenble (with top and or back off) and listen.
Keep kids away when you do this.
if it makes the same noise when in agitation it might only be a stretched belt.
Taking the front lower panel off gives you access to the pump if you want to listen to that

I have the exact same washer, its also 2 years old, and this last week my bearings went bad too. I actually pulled my washer apart and replaced the stock el cheapo bearings with some better quality ones by Toyo. No, theyre not titanium, I'm a mechanic and I've never even seen titanium sealed bearings before. Not doubting they exist, but I highly doubt youll find them in any residential appliances regardless of make. Upon disassembly, I found what I believe is the issue with the seal, hair. Hair works its way to the drive shaft, slowly works its way into the seal, and then acts as a conduit for the water to enter the bearing cavity. Both sealed bearings eventually have thier grease forced out by water, and fail. This repair is time consuming, but it can save you a LOT of money. Whirlpool only sells a whole new rear tub, at a cost of $408 just for the part. I took it apart and found that the bearings are simply pressed into the steel hub on the rear tub half. I knocked them out, and a local bearings and drives shop had some replacements for me, for $20. I put it all back together, and its running fine. If you attempt this repair, make notes, and mark where everthing goes. You'll need to disassemble a substantial amount of the machine to get the tub assembly out. If youre not able to do the repairs yourself, I recommend buying a new washer, its just not worth spending $6-700 to have a shop do it.
