My washing machine spin cycle stopped working. What should I look for? When the dile goes to the spin cycle, I can here the motor going like something is happening but when I open the door, the tub is not spinning.

It's the washing machine - I have the same one serial number and all - this is the 3rd time this has happened to me in 10 years - I bought a new belt and my husband fixed it for me. It only happens when I wash towels or sheets the whole machine starts to shake and I have to go in there and re adjust the stuff in the washer to balance it back out again. Unfortunately I was gone and left the machine running and when I got home the washer greeted me right up against the back door as it danced itself away.

When this happened to me, I turned my empty washer over and found a broken belt lying on the floor. I called the local supplier for
such and reinstalled it myself. It's been about 10 years, so I don't remember if it was TOO hard, but
I believe it was NOT too hard with proper tools, otherwise I would have called repair because I had money then. God bless you for being willing to ask
around and to try to DIY first to be more FRUGAL.
