Now suddenly, it is making a horrible knocking noise during the spin cycle and the drum "clunks around" as it washes. I checked around and found advice that it may be a rear bearing and may have damaged the drum. Does this sound right to you and is it reasonable to do it ourselves or should we replace the unit? Thank you! Chelean
