sealed units are separate to the tub and drum
I would first remove everything down to the outside drum as the noise could be from an obstruction ( coin/s bra wire, metal objects etc)
At 3 years I would not expect bearing trouble in a sealed unit so explore all other avenues of the noise first
bearings will be noisy at all cycles and not specifically at high speed spin
before you touch it -check the warranty period and if inside that period call the technician
i am guessing the rubber is from the door seal gasket and i am guessing that the clicking and noise and shaking is from the bearing that the drum spins on being worn out. not an unheard of issue. there are some very good videos on taking the washer apart and replacing the bearings if you are up for it. check out repairclinic.com or appliancepartspros.com. enter your model number and look for the corresponding videos. lots of steps, but really not all that hard. just label the parts/screws so they go back where they came from. all you may need is the bearing(2) and the seal. (get a homedepot 5 gallon bucket as a support for your drum as you work on it). i am pretty handy and a bit of a risk taker(its is already broken so how can i break it more?) and did this from the videos having never worked on a washer of this type before. good luck.
your drum bearings have gotten water in them due to a bad lip seal on the back side of the inner drum,if you can buy the bearings and lipseal you can tear it down and replace these rusty noisy bearings,and leaking seal
Remove drive belt, and spin drum by hand, if it feels rough or noisy, then the main drum bearings are worn.
If no noise from drum, could be a motor prob.

This washer will automatically choose the fast spin, you can do only spin, don't make the first selection "soil level", just press the spin speed then start.
Is the problem that it is noisy and shaking?
try to level the feet. The installers should have given you a wrench to accomplish that.
Remove drum drive belt, and spin drum by hand, if there is any resistance,. or it feels rough or noisy, the the main bearigs have probably failed.
If it is o/k then check motor for worn or noisy bearings,
Please rate my solution.

Sounds like the main drum bearings have gone, if you hold the the drum and can feel up and movement or it sounds noisy or rough when you turn it by hand then it is definately bearings gone.
Unless you know what you are doing ,I would not recommend a D.I.Y. repair.
