Looks like there's a very large gap at the top of the drum can you lift the drum up and down?

This usually happens if the front drum bearing collapses (has it been excessively noisy for sometime?) Or it can happen if 1 of the 3 aluminium drum spiders that attach to the back of the drum either corrode or crack. The latter usually results in the drum lifting up and down excessively mostly at 1 point. If it moves up and down by the same amount all of the way around the drum then it's usually drum bearings that have collapsed unless by any chance if all 3 of the drum spiders corroded and cracked. Needless to say it's likely to be a big and expensive repair.
