"It sounds like you just need to replace the motor glides & springs and re-lube the tracks the motor moves in. A new set of belts probably would be a good idea now too. The video link should help guide you through this relatively simple process"
The parts store was out of the spring and guides kit. I cleaned the pulleys, greased the slides with silicone grease and replaced the belts. The motor slides back and forth very easily. With the new belt the motor does not move as far so the belt was obviously very stretched. The spin starts extremely slow but works its way up to speed in about 30 seconds. Seems way to long? If I put a little additional pressure on the motor it seems to work fine. Do the springs really weaken that much over time?
Thanks again.
