if you CANNOT see any SCREWS or SPRING CLIPS around where the joint area is, this indicates the drum has been plastic welded together (VULCANIZED)
either have to buy a complete drum assembly, or scrap the machine .
Note
if under 5 years old warranty maybe cheaper to pay the Hotpoint call out fee for them to repair it
suggest you look into this option !
