Hotpoint WD 440 noisy Drum?

My Hotpoint WD 440 has started making a noise when the drum turns (even slowly by hand) it sounds like either a ball bearing is missing from the main bearing or that something metalic is catching on the drum every time it turns. I can't get the top off to have a good look/poke around. I have taken 2 screws off the back and the two covered by the drawer, but it won't budge and I don't want to force the issue. Any help greatly appreciated

if you knock the lid backwards with you hand it will come off but it sounds like the bearings have gone

my auntie has an aquarious wf440 and it set on fire at the plug only one year old, they came out and fixed and told her to put one of thsoe cut out things on it. the whole plug area is black and the fire travled up the wall. she has had other problems with it, i wouldn't reccoment anyone buying it brititsh made, always buy german they are made like british used to make products about 20-30 years ago they must be deliberately making the items wear down quicker so that you keep buying more from them thats how they make their money.
