I just fixed my washing machine by adding a 1/16” thick washer under the nut that holds the large plastic pulley on. Steps to fix:
# Disconnect power, hoses, and drain hose.
# Drag the washer out and turn it upside down. It '''will''' leak a small amount of water on the floor. The drum will dislocate a little because it hangs, this will not harm anything it will reposition itself to the correct position once you turn the washing machine back right side up.
# Remove the plastic cover protecting the drive belt and drive pulleys.
# Remove the drive belt by rotating the large plastic pulley a little as you displace the belt.
-
# Grab the large plastic pulley firmly and, using a wrench, remove the nut holding it on.
-
# Place a 1/16” thick washer over the exposed threaded part, placing it on top of the plastic pulley and sandwiching it between the pulley and the nut you removed in the last step.

# Grab the large plastic pulley and, holding it firmly with one hand use a wrench to remove the nut holding it on.

# Place a 1/16” thick washer over the now exposed threaded part, placing it on top of the plastic pulley and sandwiching it between the pulley and the nut you removed in the last step.
# Screw the nut back on tightly.
# Put the drive belt back on using the same method you used to remove it.
# Tip the washing machine back up onto its’ feet, reconnect all hoses, plug it in, and Bob’s your uncle.
