Good luck with yours, Tom...

I bought another spare belt and I am using the washer. It is working, but the belt and pully still gets very hot. I guess if it happens again, I should just buy a new washer. Unless anyone else has any other ideas? I am stumped on this one.

Washer started to smell like burning rubber. I pulled the cover to find the belt was burnt in one spot.
I bought a new belt and after about 20 wash loads, the belt was burning again.
I just bought a second new belt and installed it. Now I can smell it burning again. I felt the motor pully and it was very hot. Actually burnt my fingers. I wonder if the pully should be that hot?
Washer works through all cycles. But continues to burn belts. I don't see any broken parts and everything seems to move freely. But you can smell the rubber belt bruning. Every now and then I can hear someting rattling in there somewhere, but I can't tell where it is coming from.
Not sure what to check next. Maybe its time for a new washer?
