If it sounds like a jet taking off, it is the main bearing. Kind of a grinding noise.
Testimonial: "That's the noise OK - so it's the main bearing, but is that in the transmission or elsewhere, and do I fix it by replacing the transmission or ??. Tnx"

If you are talking about a loud sqeaking noise, this is usually attributed to a worn snubber ring and/or brake assembly. You cannot lubricate the snubber to get rid of the noise. In fact, you may damage the washer if you do. A small amount of corn starch can be sprinkled under the bottom tub support where the snubber ring is to get rid of most noise related problems (this will be the bottom round plate where it meets the casing of the machine). However, if the snubber is worn too much, or if the brake assembly is worn they must be replaced. I would recommend replacing the following parts:
Brake Stator: 1057484 Price: $7.45
Brake Rotor and Lining: 1032674 Price: $16.70
Snubber: 1055142 Price: $4.35
Brake Removal Kit: 997909 Price: $99.40*
*Brake removal tool is required in order to remove the brake assembly and/or to replace the snubber. There is a 200lbs spring located under the Brake Stator that must be compressed PRIOR to removal or you could cause injury to yourself.
You can find all your parts and information at repairclinic.com. I am not affiliated with the website. I am merely recommending them because I have used their service before. Plus, they use the same repair parts as your major appliance repair companies, but at a lower cost.
The parts required to make the repairs aren't very expensive, but the tool required to do it IS. Also, if you've never worked on this type of washer before, this is not a job that I would recommended to the average do-it-yourselfer. Maytag is real good abpout providing the necessary instructions with their parts, but this is a bit involved.
Post back with comments and let me know if this helps you.

I had a heavy knocking noise and found it to be the counterweight ( or stabilizer) whiich looks like a lump of cement, had come loose and was slapping around. Managed to tighten bolts holding it to the drum whiich solved the problem.

If the machine has been overloaded you may have partially damaged the coupling between the motor and the gearbox.or you may have damaged the gearbox itself...The coupling is a simple job for a tech but the other problem can be more expensive. Fortunately changing a gearbox does not take a long time. Check with a tech....Good luck....Nomess

The following may or may not answer your question, but following is the Whirlpool Service Manual for their Cabrio washer (basically the same as the Sears Oasis)
https://secured.whirlpool.com/Service/SrvTechAdm.nsf/2cd44500d572193285256a45004fd9d6/409753510a90c8be852571e90073421b/$FILE/8178583.pdf
This should give you an idea as to whether you can repair it yourself.

The drum balance ring cound be unliquified. Turn it when it is off. There should be sloshing. If there isn't, call in a repair man. He will try to fix it.

OK, I'm willing to try it. What you're saying is that I don't have to replace the transmission, there's a main bearing that I can get at (even if with difficulty) and replace.
