If you really want to know how to fix it, go to www.espares.co.uk and click on the Advice Centre tab. Now look for the video for washing machines and specifically the one where they demonstrate a drum bearing change.
This job is not for the faint hearted and mm's advice applies to anyone who does not have the electrical and mechanical knowledge to carry it out. Just getting the old bearings out after a few years of water ingress will test most peoples patience and expertise
