Model #SAV515DAWW. Only in the spin cycle as rpms increase, the machine sounds like a locomotive coming accompanied by a "friction" smell. Any thoughts? If so, what's it going to cost to fix by a professional in the NY metro area? The sounds seems like it's coming from low in the machine. Otherwise it works fine. Thanks.
