My GE front load washer started thumping loudly after a did a large load in it. I stopped it and manual turned the basket with my hand slowly and can hear the basket hitting the drum at one specific part in the cycle. I cannot feel anything in between the basket and the drum when I place my hand in the drum drain, but i think it is rubbing towards the back where i cannot reach. Also, when I shake the drum I don't hear anything rattleing inside. Any ideas as to what I need to check. Is this the drum bearing and is it worth having fixed?
