I have some good news and bad news. The good news is that the squeak that I heard is gone! But the bad news is, that now the unit NEVER goes to its full speed for the squeak to be heard when it ramps down. Today we did a regular load, as usual with this type of load, it is able to get it 100% balanced. This load was being washed on the normal cycle, keep in mind you cannot select slow spin speed on this cycle. Only medium and high. I leave it set to high most of the time. Now this is the second time I ran into this problem, last night I washed a small load on quick wash which had the spin speed set to medium. Here is where things take a turn, I have NEVER ever seen and heard this washer do this. Both loads were 100% balanced. They never reached full speed. What I heard the stator do on both loads, was tone down the speed all the way to slow even though fast and medium was selected. On the normal cycle, you cannot select slow at all, yet during the first spin and final spin it went up to atleast 1000RPM (medium), then kick back the speed all the way back down to slow. I'd say the slow speed is atleast 500RPM. I've never seen it force the speed down this low. Even though both loads were balanced and there was no vibration.
Update:
Ran the spin cycle empty, the tub did not vibrate at all, I heard the stator tone the speed down but then it kicked off and went into it's re-balancing phase. It's never done this before let alone spinning empty.
