I had the same issue and my AWN542 is just under four years old. A 25 cent washer making that noise, but it is an easy fix, and thanks for the pictures.\ Mike | ||

Build Difference The older machines that reportedly eat belts have the motor assembly mounted to the base plate of the machine. So, when the machine would encounter an out of balance spin condition that wasn't severe enough to trip the sensor on the lid switch, the motor pulley would remain stationary while the pulley on the transmission would pivot or nutate around causing belt strain and wear.
The current machines have the motor assembly mounted to the tub support which maintains the same alignment between the motor pulley and transmission pulley regardless of the out of balance condition. The motor pivots with the wash tub. This is a better design, for sure.
