  1. may need a new belt.  Myself I am not good at repairing things like that and I hate to ask my husband to do anything.  I would call a repair person then I would know for sure it was right,


  2. Oh dear!  Chances are the belt has either come off, or has possibly broke.  Remove the plug into the wall and take the back off, if you are the least bit handy you can replace a belt.  Check inside, if the belt is loose, check it thoroughly for breakage.  If it is smooth in some spots, or broken, it is time for a replacement.  Take the WHOLE belt pieces and all to your nearest appliance repair shop and ask for AN EXACT match to the one you have, and then replace it on the machine in the proper configuration, plug it in and see if it works.  If it does, unplug it again, and replace the back cover and plug and play.  If not, you can easily see what the problem is with the back off, but unplug it before making any further repairs.  If you are not the least bit handy, you can call a repairman to come and fix it.  Should be a relatively easy fix, but the repairman will charge just for showing up, parts are additional.  Hope this helps you!  Good luck!

  3. Probably needs a new  belt.
