Hello all,
I have a GE Front Loading washer thats about 3 years old. Model number GFWR4800.
It is making a LOT of noise whenever it is in the spin cycle. It sounds like metal grinding. It is also leaking water from the front left of the unit when the water is filling.
When I manually spin the drum it sounds like gears are grinding.
Here are a couple of short videos of the washing machine spinning noises...

Any thoughts on what may cause these issues? I cleaned out the pump filter and found some plastic shards. I don't think I put anything in there like that. Would it be possible that something inside the unit is sharding like that?
Here is a link to an album of pictures of where the leaks are happening as well as the plastic shards.

One last issue we seem to have is that it takes a very long time to stop running. It seems to cycle through the last 2 rinse/spin cycles for hours. I assume this is because it is trying to sense when the clothes are dry enough, but like I said, it goes through this for hours.
Thanks for any advice you can help with. There are a ton of labor day sales going on right now and I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to fix this or just go buy a new one for ~500 bucks.
