Drum is very difficult to turn by hand,looks lopsided in door
The "Guides" around the drum are worn out or the bearing is bad, which usually causes it. Replace the bearing and guides. You Tube has many videos on these fix's. and there is a good chance your machine will have one to view.

This can be a symptom of drum bearing wear. A quick check for wear is to see if the inner drum moves up and down relative to the fixed outer drum. It should only move a minute amount. If it moves more than a millimetre or two, it is probably worn bearings.
You can obtain bearing kits for most makes. See this very useful link specific to an AEG model, but it is a good general reference: http://www.eveshamsquash.co.uk/appliances/aeg_bearing.html
Also see an excellent article by Chris Tran on Hoptpoint WMA series bearing replacement, at http://www.christran.net/washingmachine1.htm
If it is making unusual noises while washing too, check there is not a bra wire or similar object trapped half way into one of the drum holes. A high pitched whine is sometimes caused by the motor bearings (but most brush/commutator motors whine a bit anyway on higher speeds, it is normal). Oil sparingly so as not to contaminate the carbon brushes.
Hope that helps...........
SOURCE: drum does not spin
We have an LG TROMM with the same problem, 3 years old as well. We bought the extended warranty (Huge waste of $$$$). So far they have determined it is not the motor or either of the control boards. We think it might be a relay switch or possibly the brake. Good luck with yours, we just went out and bought a new washer.

remove the top panel to inspect the spring and suspension you could have one that is off you remove the upper panel by three screws located in back of the machine on the lid itslef
also look down the back side you should see a belt that is on a pulley or a dive motor that is attached to the drum look at this type of pulley in the center of it many times that small center bolt that holds that pulley on comes loosend and starts to back out of the machine which ends up casing a sort of wobble when its washing the clothes also ends up making your belt on the belt models warped out and it eventually ends up falling off so all in all remove the top lid panel and slide the lid backwards and then inspect by running your washer and watching whats going on while the lid is off. please remember to rank this opinion and if i can answer any other questions please message me back i thank you again have a great day
