The noise sounds like it has marbles in the tumbler. I opened up the unit removed the belt from the pulley and turn the motor and got the same noise from the motor. So I am thinking it’s the motor. The belt also looks like it has a lot of ware and over stretched. I think it also needs to be replaced. Do you have instructions to replace the motor and belt? Something that will tell me - How do I replace the motor and belt? How much do I need to take the unit apart and in what order?

I would also check other parts while you have it torn apart might as well do a bit of an overhaul. Check the following for wear and bearing slop. Rear support rollers Front glides Idle wheel Drum seals Any interior felt/sponge seals Give the interior a good cleaning including the blower wheel Also a good time to clean/check your vent system. If the unit is not in good shape it may not be worth investing over $100.00 into it.
