I installed new bearing in my samsung front loading washer (model WF45M5100Aw/A5), following the instructions at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIB2nN7CcOQ

I ran some loads of laundry and everything seemed OK.

However, after about 5 loads of wash, the machine began making intermittent, loud, squeaking noises (different from the noise of a bad bearing) . When I manually rotate the drum it squeaks at one point in the rotation.

Anyone have any ideas? 

Thank you for your help.

The squeak could be coming from the front boot assembly and does happen sometimes when the boot is slightly clocked or not sitting in a perfect spot. Fix that and the squeaks should cease.
