Hello, while in final spin mode the steel inner drum has completely detached itself. It's now resting on the floor of the washer.
Hi, it sounds like you have a major problem with your washer. The inner steel basket has a shaft attached to the back of it that goes through the rear of the outer plastic tub and attaches to the drive pulley. More than likely the shaft has broken off, the basket alone is over $500.00. It will more than likely need the rear of the tub as well for the seal and bearing. I have seen this many times. I would recommend buying a new washer unless you have some sort of extended warranty.

Sounds like the motor coupling has broken, fairly inexpensive part but does require some finesse to install. let me know if you decide to attempt it.
SOURCE: stainless steel drum loose
A loose inner drum usually indicates a failed rear tub bearing. The only solution is to replace the rear half of the tub. (which contains the bearing).... You can check if the pulley nut has come loose by removing the rear panel. There is a large nut that retains the belt pulley to the shaft of the basket.

if this helps please give a fix ya vote
SOURCE: Water is collects in drum after a few hours after cycle is complete
no your inlet water valve is defective, youll need to repalce it, part number 8181694. in the mean time just turn off water in beween usages.

We opened the top of the washing machine and there are some suspension springs.
All it needed was some lubrification. Prior to putting the top back on we put a load in
and watched it and there was no more noise.
I'm sorry to say that tis
is potentially very bad news. the problem you describe is almost certainly
because the main bearing on the drum is worn out, allowing the inner drum to "flop about".
To test your
bearings, open the door of the machine and by putting a little lifting pressure
on the top of the inner drum, attempt to rock the stainless steel inner drum up
and down.
The outer
drum is mounted on springs and shock absorbers, so it will rock about (and it
should do this) but the inner drum should not move up and down in relation to
the outer drum. If the bearings are bad enough
then symptoms will typically include:
A clonking
noise as you lift and release the inner drum (this is the inner drum rattling
on its bearings and or hitting the outer drum)
You will
have become aware of the spin cycle becoming far noisier recently and possibly
even a grinding crunching noise when the machine spins
The drum may
feel like something is crunching or stopping you turning it when you spin it by
hand with the door open
A leak from
under the machine, which you will probably be able to trace to the back of the
machine, coming from the centre of the drum. This is the result of the failing
bearing allowing water to escape through the seal at the rear
This
is potentially very bad news I'm afraid. Beyond failed bearings, there are very few reasons for the drum to become tight.
