If you want to take the time, I just replaced my drum bearings and seal for $62.00. No really any special tools needed. My model showed the bearings were not sold seperately and you had to buy the complete tub half, but when you take it apart, you can knock out the bearings and buy them online or at a bearing house. I have a seal part number also.
If I remember right the bearing part numbers are 6306-2RS and 6307-2RS (1 each) and the seal is a 40mmX80mmX10mm thick. Make sure you get the -2RS bearings because they are sealed. The ones that came out of mine are shielded bearings ( -Z ) and they will not resist moisture if the seal shaft seal fails.
Most AutoZones have seal and bearing drivers you can "borrow". They really help during installation so you don't deform the seal or damage the new bearings.

Any good bearing house should be able to macth on up or if you post back I can give you the exact number. I think most brands of front washer use the same bearings, but you may want to take yours apart before you buy.
Worst case the junk yard doesn't care if it comes in pieces or as one piece. Give it a try.

Not sure you will want to get this involved, but its not really too bad of a job.

    Hi Jetfixr,
    Can you provide more explantion on how to change the bearings?
    Do i have to disasemble the inside part first?
    Anything would be greatle appreciated, especially when i cannot afford a washing machine.

    Thanks for the post, this was so useful to me. I got the part mentioned and with my brother who works in mechanics we changed the bearing of the tub, put everything back together and works great!
    Thanks again
    BTW I also had good hints form here:http://www.applianceblog.com/mainforums/...

If the noise is really loud in the final spin your bearing are starting to go out your washer needs to be rebuilt but it will be cheaper to go buy a new one

Frigidaire front loading washing machine will not do final spin

If you cannot manually turn the tub when it is off, and not in use, then the motor and transmission is possibly seized. If you can turn it with no issue or noise, then the control is not communicating correctly to the unit.

Loud noise in final spin cycle

Check the motor on the machine, make sure that the motor is not grinding on itself. If that is not it then check the tub and make sure when that spins that it is not hitting the side of the housing
