I have read about the bearings on the drum, but I have never worked on a washer before and need some help. Here are the symptoms. When I manual turn the drum in the back it makes a clank noise over and over. This apply when I turn it forward and backwards. Any guidance would be much appreciated. I saw a post about replace the steal drum, but the price was the price of a new washing machine.

This happens all to often with these Frigidaire built front loaders. I think you are looking at a new machine. If you do not absolutely need a front load machine I advise the basic top load washer which will last a lot longer, cost a lot less and be a lot easier to repair if you need to.
