sounds like the carbon brushes need replacing in the motor, they can cause a screeching sound as they wear down.
SOURCE: burning rubber smell
Even though manufacturers' love to advertise it, I personally would not load "too many items", as it may cause excessive normal ware and tear on your machine parts, motor, belt, etc.
Yes; the smell can be the belt and possibly your motor as well. The motor may be spinning, but the weight may be too much when the belt is engaging to rotate the drum. I would be careful not to burn the motor (About $120 - part only)
You should be able to access and inspect the drive-belt in the rear of the machine by removing an access panel (back of washer).
To replace the belt if fairly simple. Remove and re-install by wedging a long screw driver in between the belt and metal pulley (circular), while simultaneously rotating the pulley.
You may be required to make a belt repair if you start to have problems with your "washer not spinning" or "making a noise/not spinning"

The manufacturer recommends you tilt back the washer and spray some penetrating oil into and around the brake package to stop the squeal.
