My Kenmore Elite Oasis Top Loading washing machine has a very noisy agitation cycle. It almost sounds like a ratcheting noise whose sound level increases with increased agitation speed. During the spin cycle the noise is of a constant nature and is extremely loud.
You will have to access the bottom of the agitator from the back of the machine. Either you have loose bolts or else you agitator bearings are shot
you will have to remove the bolts holding down the agitator. 
where the agitator shaft meets the motor, you will want to loosen the bolts and pull out the bearings with the shaft. The agitator will have to be removed from the top, as well as the tub. Then you will be able to pull out the motor, bearings and shaft. replace the bearings

I'm not clear on what your suggestion is.
What on the agitator I'm accessing through the back of the unit?
Doesn't the agitator come out through the top?
Any pics or drawings available, i.e. on-line parts manual?

Extremely noisy when tumbling. Is there a bearing that can be replaced?
