Spin cycle has operating "out of balance" for a while, causing the machine to "walk". Now it is making a loud "screeching" noise. I checked the belt and it seems to be working correctly. Could it be a bearing in the motor, or something else??
Thanks. I removed the belt and was able to turn the pump pulley pretty easily – it wouldn’t "spin" (like a bicycle wheel), but there was no grinding noise either. I did notice the pulley was sort of loose – I could move it back and forth a quarter inch or so, like it has some "play" in it. Should I go ahead and replace it and the belt?
