washer goes through washing cycle. when it changes to drain and spin it is very sluggish, dimming the overhead light and then tripping the breaker. the overhead light is on another circuit. what does it sound like to you. there is also a hot smell. the length of time it takes to spin and trip the breaker is approximately 30 to 60 seconds.

Remove the front panel. Tilt the washer back, remove the belt and check how freely the pump pulley is moving in both directions. Post the results.

Sorry for the delay.

Run the washer on spin without the belt. It it happens again then the motor has gone bad.
