Sounds like your "Drum Glides" need replacing, open the door and cheat the door interlock and you should be able to hear it closer by bottom of drum by lint filter if yours is located there depending on model

try cleaning the cogs that the belt runs around some times the belt puts a layer of rubber on them when the belt slips which makes the new belt slip if not could be a bearing in the pullys the belt runs around
Don't know if this helps. Had squeel in belt area. Occasionally engine would stop when squeel got loud and sometimes engine would try to quit while going at various speeds. Found tensioner pulley was bad and changed it. Still squeeled and engine would stop when squeel got loud. This time while sitting in yard. Further checking found binding in power steering pump. Will be putting on new one tomorrow. Hope it works. Will update.
Drum support rollers. I cannot see your repyl due to some tech issue w/ the site, so it may be a day or so before I can reply again. Please leave feedback for me if appropriate. Thanks
This sounds like the same problem I had with my 887-327. It seems that coins can fall into the water pump from the bottom of the drum. I had to pull the water pump off the direct drive and turn the blades until the dimes came out. After I reinstalled the pump everything was quite again.
It sounds as if you have a defective drive motor. After the motor runs for a while and heats up, the internal thermal switch cuts it off before it gets too hot and becomes a hazard. Once the motor cools down and the thermal switch makes up again, it will run and then repeat this process.
