This washing machine is about 2 years old. It has recently started to "roar" like a jet engine when it spins water out. Seems to still work fine but the sound is very loud and concerning.

no not worth repair at 16 years old
its got issues with aging worn motor
not spinning fast enough
door seal if you can buy one
may not be the water leak fix
This is one of 3 faults
1 you may have a problem with the heating cycle check
element
2 you might have a water valve not working
3 there may be a program fault
These videos on how to change an element and water valve will help
Be certain BOTH fill hoses are turned on. What happens is hoses get reversed, and someone turns off the hot water (which is connected to the cold inlet) and the machine needs cold water on rinse, so it will JUST STOP and wait happily forever. Both taps on and then check for reversed hoses.
Look carefully at supply water. sometimes hoses are reversed, dad wants to save money and turns off hot, but water is needed to finish rinse cycle....turn on both taps and test again.
The roaring noise is from the drum bearing and it will only get worse with time until it fails completely. You will need to replace the rear tub assembly which is about $300 for the part. The rear tub assembly part number is 285984. It will take about 2 hours in labor. Make sure you are using HE (high efficiency) detergent and only about 2 tablespoons per load.
Rear shocks tend to wear faster than the front.
Try switching the front shocks to the rear. If this helps, plan on
buying 2 new ones. You will have time to search for the cheapest price... typically 25 USD @ /www.appliancepartspros.com/
Could be a loose belt, or drum bearings,or ( drum rollers if your model is so equiped) In my mind machine would be worth repair when needed.
hope this is helpful
