The drum spins until you put clothes in making it slow or stop. Is that a belt problem or the motor?

ANSWER Hello Dave,
Since the belt is riding on a spring loaded idler pulley, if the belt is the issue, you would get a loud squealing noise from the belt slippage. I would diagnose the motor in the case of a no noise drum slow down.
