If I turn the drum manually I can hear and feel it dragging against something for about 1/8 of the rotation, then it's fine again for the remaining 7/8 of the rotation. Any ideas on what it might be, or how to diagnose further? Thanks much!

Take off the top and the back panel and look for a problem with the counter weights or the support structure. Here is a link to the service manual for your model. http://www.emaservicetips.com/p..._TumbleActionWashers.pdf
