Washer pumping slow

[suds14]

I am using my belt drive whirpool washer, the first few loads
the washer ran fine. On the fourth load the water is not pumping out before the timer advances to spin. I am wandering if the belt needs tightened or if the pump is starting going? I also just noticed it seems to be agitating a little slower also.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

David

does sound like a loose belt

Thanks cfz2882. It took me a while to get the motor nut loose but I finally did, made the belt tighter, now the washer is runnung even better than before. it is so nice to have a washer with a suds saver again. I was getting tired of putting the water back into the washer with a bucket.

Thanks again,

David
