This video taken during agitation cycle.
Is the tub visibly twisting as here diagnostic of a faulty mode shifter?
Since R&R is a major teardown, what other parts should be replaced -- bearing, nut, etc.?

I know one person who has had one of these who had a bad bearing after a year of use, and it has had a bad bearing for like 12 years now and it still works, just loud on spin cycle. Smurdle450 had early bearing failure with a kenmore oasis and it lasted 11 years with the loud noise. That HydroWave seems to have the same issue going on.
I took apart my mode shifter and just replaced the bearing which was bad for $5. Pretty simple design with the main coil that is energized or de-entergized so as to engage it in agitate or spin mode. Bearing and coil are 2 main parts. Not exactly sure what is happening on this one. Maybe it is agitating when locked in spin mode?
GE Profile is supposed to be top of the line... Such bullshit. Better off investing on a Speed Queen.
