possible drain pump has a foreign object in it - access the impellor to see what you find or possible the pump has in fact failed. if you can hear a faint humming noise when should be draining, that indicates somkething jammed in the pump
SOURCE: Clicking noise while spinning the drum
really no good way to acess the inbtween portions of the tub, with any luck you can remove the lower drain hose and fish whatever is stuck out from there

Hello,
Welcome to FixYa.
Based on your description "My front load washer has a load clunk when the drum is spinning. If I spin it by hand I can still hear it. I took the back off and it sounds like coming from inside the drum" my first suspicion would be a worn tub bearing, unfortunately all too common with those Frigidaire.
The tub bearing is likely worn, or the inner tub has broken apart.
You can check this by way of opening the door and grabbing the inner basket rim and moving up and down to feel for play...there should be zero play or zero tolerance in this bearing.
Second, since you`ve removed the back panel, grab the large pulley and try and move it back and forth or spin it with the belt off to listen for a grinding noise.
If it is indeed worn it will require practically the complete tub assembly ( rear wall with bearing and inner basket )...that is the least expensive and easiest fix at around $400 for the entire assembly.
example...
You can opt to change just the rear wall and bearing with the basket in separate pieces, but it comes in around $370 and still leaves you with pulling the old one apart to re-use the front shell.
Either way this is a fairly involved repair and even for an experienced tech like myself can take 60 - 90mins.
Let me know what you find and I'll do what I can to assist you.
Good luck. Thank you for choosing FixYa.
Regards,
Macmarkus :)
