Washing machine Squeaking
After carrying out some bearing replacements, I ran the washer on a quick cycle, no clothes all was good. Second attempt with clothes and started to get a squeaking noise after about 20 mins. Any help on this would be great.

- That's interesting. I have just replaced my bearing, seal, door seal and drum. It now runs fine but squeaks at low speed. Not the belt or the front seal, its from the rear so I think it must be the new rear seal.

First you need to identify where the squeak is coming from. If you confirm it only occurs when the drum rotates then it suggest it is either the bearings or perhaps more likely deposit on the drum shaft rubbing on the seal (this could be limescale or detergent). Before stripping and reexamining the bearings try removing the pulley and moving the drum shaft in and out whilst still assembled by knocking the shaft with a mallet or piece of wood to prevent damage. Then reassemble and use a washing machine cleaner and a hot wash. This may be just a new seal 'bedding in' but carry out the above advice if you want to try to sort it out quickly.
