Hi,
This is for a GE laundry center. I've got a grinding sound as soon as the motor starts to spin (I believe I tested this in the agitate cycle). I opened the front panel and found that the drive gears were not staying meshed and grinding on each other. I replaced the belt and manually re-engaged the gears to ensure they fit properly then restarted the cycle. As soon as the motor started spinning the gears came apart and grinded on each other. I assume some part of the mechanism that is supposed to keep the top gear pushed down is failing? FYI, This is for a rental property that I own so "DIY budget" repair suggestions are certainly welcome haha
Thank You!
