The bearing assembly is beginning to fail.
requires an overhaul.
this problem is far too common with Kenmore and frigidaire front loaders

Noise inside the drum

Is there any play in the basket? The gap between the basket and the plastic tub should stay the same. If you are able to put pressure on the upper part of the metal basket and it moves within the tub, the rear support of the basket is damaged or tub bearing is bad. Both are terminal problems. Sorry.

My washer is off balance during the spin cycle it jumps, and moves around

With the washer empty, tilt it front a few inches and drop it back down. This will re-level the legs. If it still jumps around, replace the drum snubber, inside the front of the machine. It's a rubber pad that keeps the drum from moving around too much. Snubbers dry out with age.

My frididaire front load washer is making a loud knocking sound as it goes through the cycle. Also the metal "basket" in which the clothing is places seems to be "off its track" and loose. i can move it...

It sounds like the shocks for the drum are broken. The shocks absorb the wobbling of the drum due to unbalanced loads, etc. Remove the lower front panel (with machine unplugged) and look towards the back on each side and see if you see broken or hanging shocks. The panel has 2 screws I think and should come right off.
Also, if you can open the door and lifting up on the drum inside the machine and moving it around and hear a clunking sound, the drum bearings may be bad. Give that a try and see what you find.

Recently moved and now my washer sounds like it is going to take off!

Hi.

If you hear an high pitched noise or rumble that becomes louder when spinning at speed, then you may have dislodged the drum bearing or broken the drum bearing spider.

The part is located at the back of the drum.
