Take off the top and try to turn the drum manually to hear where the noise is coming from. It is likely from the back where the drum is supported.

I cannot get anything to come up on your model, so I am going to have to give you some general advice. You need to take out the drum and change out the rear support, which are probably rollers of some type or the tensioner if that turn out to be the problem. To do this you need to release the belt, which can be done by releasing tension on the tensioner. You may be able to access this from the front, but more likely there is a service panel in the back which will come off to get to it. Take off the front and then you should be able to remove the drum and see the parts that need to be replaced. Good luck, let us know what you find.
