[QUOTE="hobie1dog, post: 524424, member: 1206"] Working as a commercial HVAC tech and multi-craft facilities technician for 30 years, a belt which slips will create excess friction and burn the outer surface of the belt. But also a bad bearing on the motor or the tub will cause the belt to slip in either v-groove pully, which would be my first guess. Years of use and high torsional loads take their tolls on bearings. Once a bearing starts breaking up ( individual balls come apart ), it goes to hell in a hand basket pretty quickly. If you get access to the back or underside again, slip the belt off and turn the motor by hand and listen/feel for bearing noise, and do the same for the tub and tensioner roller bearing. [/QUOTE]
