Frigidaire Washer - noise and plastic shavings

Washer Repair

Recently washer started making a grinding/rubbing noise. Becomes quite loud during fast spin.

Examined today and found plastic shavings around the front of the drum. It appears that the drum is rubbing on a plastic ring that is beneath the rubber door gasket.

Seems like there is some up/down play on the front of the drum, but I can’t make it so it doesn’t rub. Also seems like there may be some front-to-back play, too.

Bearing??? How difficult to replace, if so??

Thanks

Anybody???

Are there any posted instructions for how to replace the back-half of the outer drum??

Surely somebody here knows…

Are you trying to get it back on the tub, or the front panel?
