Noise on spinning

Hi, My Hotpoint WT540 is making a noise on fast spin. It does not do it at any other time leading me to suspect that its not the bearings. After some examination I suspect the drum to be rubbing against part of the door seal. After looking at your excellent youtube video on how to change it I reckon thats easy enough. However is that the probable culprit? And you give me the options of three WT540s, My machine simply says WT540 on it, no suffix?? Thanks in anticipation : )

    Check for play by lifting the inner edge and see if the gap changes as this may indicate worn bearings or a failed drum spider. If the inner drum is not buckled and the rim gap remains even as you turn the drum. If slightly out at one point use a piece of wood and a hammer to carefully knock true.
