Moved washing machine - now drum won't turn?

My Zanussi Aquacycle 1000 has been moved around a lot lately - ie down four flights of stairs - and has then been sitting in storage for six months.
I have now plumbed it in - but the drum is completely solid. It won't turn by hand at all.
I have DEFINITELY taken all three off the long screws that were put in for transportation.
It was working fine before we moved house.

Sounds like the drum bearings are siezed. the bearing seal was poss. faulty allowing water into the bearings which have corroded and solidified during storage. Check the motor and drive belt - behind rear cover. If the drum is still solid after the belt has been taken off its definately the bearings which will need to be replaced.
