I unplugged it and removed the rear panel to discover that the motor is spinning against the belt (hence the screeching noise) but the drum is not turning. My guess is that the brake is stuck. Any solutions? Thank you for any help. Bob

I moved to South America and as far as I know there is no way to get parts for it here, especially not as large as that. The part that you marked on the diagram is the plastic part that encases the metal tub, correct? Is there no other way to get to the bearings?
