Teenager overloaded the washer causing 2 of the shock absorbers to break/come free, eventually causing the belt to come off. I had planned to replace the shocks so I had them and changed all of them out; as a tip to anyone who wants to do this, make sure the replacement is orientated correctly and twist in the bottom first. Anyway after replacing them I put the belt back on but when hand turning it would wander off, it is pretty worn and a new one is on order, thanks AppliancePartsPros.com. My question is about the Drum Drive pulley, it seems to have a lot of play in and out on the rim, is this normal? Is the Drum Drive a wear part, should I replace it also? The nut that holds it on only gets so tight, I guess it is meant to move freely, to a point, on its axis. That darn nut was tight also, I had to get the air impact gun out to get it free. Thanks for your help!
If anyone else runs into this, replace the pulley, lock nut, and belt. No more trouble.
