restarting topic with proper title Maytag MAH4000AWW - Motor will not run.  Timeline:  over 4 weeks growling sound increased with motor running.  Inspection with belt off, motor turned freely.  Large pulley tightly attached. Turning large pulley the bearings felt very good, I have installed many bearings never in a washer.  New belt installed (1.5 inches shorter/smaller)changed sound somewhat but motor could not speed up to spin. Manually helping motor to accelerate somewhat successful.  el
