Washer Model#LSR7233HQ0 Serial# CJ4607154 Type 111.When it starts spin cycle,at first sounds like a steam engine chugging uphill,it pumps out the water,then at high spin is very noisy.Any thoughts out there what the problem might be?This unit is only about 4 1/2 years old.I am not sure where to begin to get the covers off,if you start fom the very top or what.Is there anyplace on the web where some repair literature can be downloaded.Any advice is greatly appreciated.Thanks a lot.

It sounds like the direct drive coupling is going bad. Here is a link that explains how to replace it.
