I have an Amana top load washing machine. After putting on a new belt the motor now gets hot and kicks out when entering the spin cycle. The agitate cycle work fine. The belt tensioner pivot bolt hole is loose and allows the tensioner to tilt sidways. would this put enough drag on the belt to over heat the motor and kick it out? After motor cools off the machine will agitate but does the same thing with etnering the spin cycle.
