Hi @glennwells42847

It could be the drive belt¹ initially slipping when the motor starts, the support rollers¹ gunked up with lint or worn or perhaps the idler pulley¹ is worn

¹ The supplier linked was only because they have videos in the links that show how to replace the suspected parts, which will help to inspect them etc. If a part is faulty and needs replacing, search online for the manufacturer's part number only (shown in the link) to find suppliers that suit you best.
