My outer front tub assembly or plastic hosing disinigrated. I ordered a new one and would like to know what is supposed to keep the stainless steel drum from riding against the new outer housing and causing the same problem again. Now that I have the front housing off it appears that the stainless steel drum is pulling towards the upper right and has nothing to keep it centered. I also found large pieces of metal in the housing below the drum where the water pump is located that sucks the water out of the machine. Any idea what that would be? Is it something that the metal drum road against? or is it something my kid stuck in there? Please Help!

Same problem here, 8 year old machines. Pump filter filled with plastic shreds from ss basket rubbing on outer basket. Waiting to call repair man but fear washer is history as repairs are probably cost prohibitive. Started out suddenly making terrible noise during final spin cycle. Run your hand between the two baskets and you will probably feel the rough edges of the plastic outer drum. good luck. big disappointment!
