Last month, I replaced both belts (from a different supplier) on my old maytag top load, sorry the model number it not legible. The replacement drive belt #211125 was a little thinner than the original but the length seemed correct. Now I am burning that belt as well. I made it through the complete wash cycle, but I can feel damage to that new drive belt. Is there something that causes these belts to burn out? Is there a brake or transmission check I should perform to make sure all is proper before I order a new replacement belt from you guys? I will be buying dampers and glue too. This site is awesome.

Gblum,
Under the circumstances, the most common problem for a burnt drive belt, would be a seized up or stiff tub bearing / tub seal assembly.
A quick check, remove the belt from the transmission pulley, turn the pulley in a clockwise direction, it should be relatively easy, and the agitator should move back and forth . Turn the pulley counterclockwise, the brake should release, the clutch should lock up and the tub will start to turn, unless the bearing is seized, and you may break it loose.
Check and make sure the motor carriage rollers are clean and well lubricated.
Good Luck,
how do i tighten the door handle on my freezer door it has gotten loose over the years and i am afraid it is going to fall off
I think your model is an mfi not a mf1.

Pull up on the door and it should release then you can tighten the loos screw.
Be careful to not scratch the door.
