Washer Motor Rotor

Would the failure of this part cause a squealing or high pitched noise during wash cycle or agitation?

What are the common symptoms when this part fails?

could the failure of this part cause the mother board or main control board to short out and the unit to not turn back on?

My Kenmore 11026132410 washer is making a grinding noise during the wash/agitator cycle. The basket/drum is still working but makes an awful grinding noise. It is also making a loud grinding/squeal sound during the spin cycle. However, it does not always make this sound during the spin cycle but the grinding noise is constant in the agitator wash cycle. I replaced the top washer wash plate but did not help. What part would I need to fix this? Would I simply need a new clutch and activator switch? Is this the same as the slider? Maybe it is the slider that I need. Thank you for your time and consideration.
