hello, my servis m6005 washing machine is about 2 years old now and when the drum is turning it has begun to squeak, this is steadily getting worse, i wander if something is stuck or the brushes are on the way out. when the drum is turned by hand when machine is empty its not turning as smoothly as it used to, there is a little resistance there, please help! this machine is regularly used twice a day

these machines suffer with squeaky belts! ~ unplug remove back panel turn remove belt then spin the drum ~ is it still squeaky? ~ if not then it is probably the belt causing the noise

Could be the early stages of bearing trouble, the seal fails and lets water in the bearing which then gets noisey.
Keep an eye if it's getting worse over a couple of weeks.
get it checked sooner rather that later,bearing repairs are better done early.
