The motor seems to be spinning just fine. As I look deeper into the washer, I can see the drum turning very slowly. Update: I removed the pump - same thing. I removed the belt. Motor spins fine when turned on, but when it's turned off, it sounds like a bucket of bolts as it's spinning down. With it off, if I spin the motor pulley by hand, it feels very rough and it makes a grinding noise. thoughts? Thanks! Curt Pennsylvania
