This seems to come from the area below the base plate.
Both belts operate normal and are not damaged.
Are there any ideas about which part or parts need replacing?
Also, are special tools required?

Hi,

Model LAT4910

Missing the last 3 digits.

makes very loud screech during both agitate and spin.

Belts, motor pulley, motor, pump, something in the pump are common
trouble makers. Need to slowly test and eliminate the possible cuases.

If the belts are shinny, they are damaged.
