    i have a frigidaire front load washer and the belt keeps slipping off. can you please help. we took the belt to a repair shop and they told us the belt looked fine what else could it be.

    I bought a new belt for my Kenmore 417.43052200 washing machine. It continues to slip off. I also replaced the shocks because one was broken. This did not help. I paid a Sears repair man to fix my machine and it worked for one load only. I,m out of warranty and was told I'd have to pay him again to return. Any suggestions?

THE MACHINE RUNS VERY WELL QUIET UNTIL THE FINAL SPIN CYCLE THEN FROM THE BACK OF THE MACHINE THERE IS A SQUEAL THAT GETS LOADER AS THE SPEED PICKS UP
This may well be the drum drive belt in the back of the washing machine. This belt transfers drive from the motor to the drum for both wash cycles and spinning. If the belt is slipping slightly on the pulley then a squeal may well be heard on the spin cycle and will change in pitch as the speed of the drum increases. At lower speeds (wash cycles) the belt probably won't slip. I don't personally know of this model but there is usually a tension adjustment nut/bolt near the motor to tighten the belt and stop it slipping.

My Maytag A105 Washing Machine made a weird noise just as it started the spin cycle. When I opened the top lid, there was a burning smell and I could see some smoke coming out. I shut the lid again and...
This sounds like a belt burning. Something may have got caught in the pump and the belt is slipping and burning. You will need to drain all the water out first. Then remove the front panel. Tilt the machine back a little so you can reach the pump pulley and see if it turns freely. Your model has 2 belts and they both should be replaced at the same time. Adjustment on the pump belt is critical so the drive belt doesn't slip. If something is caught in the pump, whatever it is needs to be removed, or replace the pump.

Pump works. Spins when empty/no load in tub. clutch slips when loaded
If the drive belt is slipping during the agitate and both spin cycles for loaded conditions, I suspect that the drive belt is excessively worn. If it slipped only during a loaded spin cycle, I would have suspected that the sliding motor mount is gummed up and not moving to a belt tighten position during the start of a spin cycle. Since the unit drains with no problem for loaded and unloaded conditions, the pump belt should be OK. Replace the drive belt and clean the dust, gunk, detergent, etc, out of the sliding mount to make sure that it tightens properly when a loaded spin cycle starts. Note that on most models, the drive belt is designed to slip when spin cycles first engage, and they will continue to slip until after the drum has accelerated.

The rubber belt is worn and slipping under load. (like a fan belt)
There could also be something caught in the belt or pulleys; clear it out and it should work.
If worn, replace belt soon...

Washer will not spin sometimes
look under for the belt(s). Belts must be clean and dry, and in good shape, no oil or grease on them. If the machine is leaking on the belt, it will slip. Detergent will make the belt slip.

Heavy Duty Speed Queen top loader, HA 4011-3062, with a slow spin
I have a related problem and I just learned on the net that the Vbelt is supposed to slip in "idle" mode while the water pump will do more work.
It is also supposed to slip slightly while speeding the spinning up so as to not cause motor overload.A kind of half clutch function that allows for slipping. This slipping is controlled by the tensioner.

My guess is that your machine's v belt slips too much and thus does not spin fast enough. You replaced the belts, I would look at the tensioner now.
