Aluminum as you know can easily warp and it only takes a few mm of warp to throw it off and let the belt come off. Here is a link to the service manual for your model. http://www.emaservicetips.com/p...thTumbleActionWasher.pdf You may have to replace the pulley on spec because the problem may be so small that it is not visible to the naked eye.

I have been scratching my head on this one, because the pulley looks just fine. Thanks for everything.
