Good Morning Anonymous-131323, thank you for allowing me to assist you!

From what you have described, it sounds like you either have a problem with the belt, front (and/or rear) bearing, or a loose connection with the motor or drum. I recommend contacting a professional to accurately diagnose the issue, the part(s) may have to be replaced depending if they are worn, damaged or loose. You can often locate a qualified tech through the manufacturer website.
