Washer has been making loud clacking noises starting spin cycle. Spin up
has seemed a little slow also. Noise diminishes when spin us up to speed. Now something must be really impeding the spin because it just melted the motor pulley.

Tom, the clacking noise and poor ramp up in the spin cycle, would be an indication of the thrust bearing

Part number: AP4009132
Part number: AP4009132


cams and pulley tolerances have expanded(worn out) and can't engage the brake and clutch properly.
If there have been no abnormal noises(squealing, rumbling,grumbling,etc) during wash or spin, chances are the misalignment caused the belt

Part number: AP4024823

to "cinch" up and burn the

pulley

Part number: AP4024152
Part number: AP4024152


Your best bet, would be to replace all three components at the same time.
