Uh, not the drum bearing. Have had this problem on a Classixx 1200 from the start. We have has a lot of clothes damaged although the marks usually come out n the next wash. Think it's to do with clothes becoming caught in the door seal. Design fault. Just don't load your drum too full and see how you get on. - Greg.

Your main drum bering is on its way out. It will now 'dry out' and start to become noisy, overheat and disintergrate. Try turning it by hand - see if it is 'crunchy' and stiff.
