Squealiing from Hotpoint TL61?

Any ideas as to what is causing a deadful squealing from my TL61 ? Changed main bearing and drum support pads. Belt is properly tensioned and in excellent condition (changed 12 months ago). Squealing is intermittent but most apparent when full load is first started. Don't think its the motor and am leaning towards the idling/tensioning pulleys. Anyone any experience of this model ?

MINE DOES THE SAME - NEEDS A GOOD SQUIRT OF WD40 ON THE IDLER/TENSIONER PULLEYS EVERY FEW MONTHS. I'VE FOUND I CAN DO THIS BY JUST REMOVING THE VENT CONNECTION, FEELING FOR THE PULLEYS AND SQURTING IN THE GENERAL AREA OF BOTH- TAKES ABOUT 5 MINUTES. GOOD LUCK
