Determining whether a washing machine drum or its supporting outer tub assembly is physically broken involves inspecting for severe structural damage and abnormal mechanical behavior. Signs of a broken drum include a loud metallic scraping or grinding noise when rotating the basket by hand, visible sagging where the inner basket rubs against the door seal, water leaking directly through fractured outer plastic tub walls, or a snapped spider arm support bracket on the rear of the drum. You can troubleshoot drum alignment easily by spinning it manually. You can verify that your drum is broken when noticing excessive wobble and structural cracks confirms that the assembly requires professional overhaul or complete appliance replacement.
