Have the back off. Put belt back on spindle coming from motor, and drum pully. Spun drum pully and belt tracked off. Replaced belt, this time in slightly different place on motor spindle, spun, belt tracked off. Replaced belt, different place again, spun, belt tracked off. What am I missing? Shouldn't there be a lip on the drum pully to prevent the belt from tracking off? The belt is tight, but maybe not tight enough? Need help.

Did you use the original belt? What is the part number for the belt you used?

Gene. Yes, I used the originial, Upon further investigation, I noted that the washer tub back was covered with grease, bearing grease, it turned out. Apparently the bearing partially slipped out. Tapped it back, and enertia pulled it the rest of the way. Belt is tracking fine, now, however bearing is probably failing, so will have to replace. Thanks for the help. I can take it from here. Unless yhou know of a place I can get only the bearing, instead of the whole assembly, AP2578105.

I would recommend to disassemble the tub and check the spider and shaft on the inner tub. If they are damaged then there is 25 years manufacturer warranty on the inner tub.
