For most front-loaders:
Open the top of washer, screws behind, slide away from front couple of inches & lift up. Lubricate the slot which fits over the tub with washing-up fluid, if there is resistance to insert. Starting at the top, press the seal so the flange of the tub enters the slot on the seal. Work your way round the using thumbs to force the slot on the tub flange. When slot is on the flange all way round, fit the spring which holds it on. The spring goes into a slot on the outside of the seal. This is quite difficult and you may need another pair of hands. Fit the outside of the seal to the cabinet - this is easy and fit the plastic clamping ring.
Test for leaks before using. Use rinse to test as the water level is higher.
(There is no glue anywhere, only clamps,etc)

It could be a broken drum restraint spring, or a worn or broken. or loose shock absorber.
To check the springs, remove the top cover, and you will see the springs.
Another possibility is the concrete weight could be broken or loose.
You need to remove the lower rear panel of washer to check the shockers and concrete weight.

everything you have described points to a blocked pump,worth blowing down the clear pressure pipe from the switch end while your in there to make sure thats clear!

yes.dose it drain,see it must drain before it can spinso if water is standing in it it wont spin and that would mean your pump is ither blocked or reciving power but not working.

Belt loose or motor / motor control board possibly defective

the possibvility is the drum spider broken - a difficult repair

i had the same problem check the holes inside the drum for a bra wire stuck in one of them which was my problem we also thought the bearings had gone but they were not hope this helps
