Washing machine

well, I guess by the sounds it you guys have belt problem.
Check to see if the belt is not slipping, if is you may have to tighten the belt. it is very simple there are two bolts on the motor,
One has a slot, and one is just a pivot. You have to loosen the pivot bolt a bit then you loosen the bolt that rides in the slot. Then you pull back on the motor to get the right tension on the belt.
That rattle you hear is the spin-clutch realease arm spring check to see if it's missing if it is then that is where the rattle is coming from that spring holds down the clutch arm when the washer is in spin thus preventing the rattle if it's not there or it's broken you have to replace the spring if your'e in Canada stop by greg's appliance repair and he will fix it for Ya!!!
