Hi. Does it make this noise when the drum is turned by hand?

Works like magic with the new belt.

Yes, the drum moves nice and quietly.

I will buy tomorrow a new belt and update.

Thanks for the help so far.

With the belt off, has the noise gone when you spin the drum fast by hand from the front?

Definitely. It could be the source of the rubber noise.

I have removed the belt, and the drum is moving freely. This is the belt condition. Should I relace it?

That sounds like rubber. Is the drum catching on the back of the door seal? Check all around.

Thanks for the advice. I have looked carefully inside the drum to see if something is sticking out of one of the drum holes, but nothing found. I have managed to find a specific point which makes the noise when I rotate the drum. I've added another video.

Could it be something stuck between the inner and outer drum? The first thing I would do is disconnect from the mains and then take off the drive belt. If the noise is still there with the belt off it’s something to do with the drum.

Check there isn’t something like a bra wire poking through one of the holes in the drum.
