Default washing machine squealing

It is a constant steady squeal. Fortunately, I took off the cabinet. As
soon as the agitation cycle stopped and it went to the next cycle the squeal
stopped. I was hoping the agitation cycle put the biggest load on the motor
and forced the coupler to squeal. Other messages seem to indicate that
couplers just let go when they fail and don't make noise. It is a Whirlpool
LSR7233EQ0. Heavy duty super capacity.

Hi,

Since we cannot hear noises over the WWW we would be guessing!!
Something in the drain pump, worn motor coupler, motor, are common
noise makers. Worn agitator drive dogs get noisy but usually
chatter/clatter rather than squeal. The tech may run the washer with
the cabinet off to get a better idea where/what this noise is comming
from....
