Hi Have a GE Model WWA5600SBLWW washer. The final spin cycle slows down in proportion to the size and weight of the wash load. Just moved the washer away from wall and took off back cover to look at drive belt. First thing I noticed was was looked like oil on the floor where washer was sitting and when looked in back of washer, look like a lot of grease or lubricant has really be thrown around. At one spot on back cover it even soaked through. Question is - obviously such a thing would cause belt to slip. With all the oil or grease, do I have a much more serious problem that would warrant a service call, or even washer is at least ten years old - would it be just as cheap to buy a new one as to get service? My limited knowledge of these machine would indicate to me a transmission or bearing problem. I have noticed when the final spin cycle seems to run as fast as it should with a light load, it is make a metallic clicking noise.
Any and all help appreciated!!!!!
