I’ve open the bottom of the unit figuring it may be the belt the belt is intact when he goes into the spin cycle the pump for the drain does spin only the motor is extremely hot and none of the other belts turn I try to manually turn it to the right it will not go when I try to push the ball to the left it will go in the tub itself I can turn it either way it works smoothly

Is the motor spinning? If so does the idler pulley have tension on it? There should be a spring that puts tension on the pulley and allows for it to spin. The spring is on the left side when looking into the unit from the front with the front panel off. Is the unit agitating?

wrong links

Sorry about the links , they have been corrected. Is the drive motor getting power, (humming, getting warm, or tripping on the overload)? If the motor is not getting power i would check to see if the lid switch is functioning correctly. Have you tried to take the belt off to see if the transmission pulley will turn by hand easily? Is the unit draining the water?; because if the water does not drain out the unit will not spin correctly. Let me know what you find out and we will go from there.

the unit dose drain but will not spin or agitate the drum. i cat turn it freely from the inside but the belt will only move to the left not to the right.
