Another component which can be responsible for a washing machine drum not turning is the carbon brushes. If the drum is not turning when filled with water or during the spin cycle, this can indicate that the carbon brushes are worn out.
Do check the tension of the belts. The should be fairly tight, but not too much so. Also try to clean the pulley as there may be belt residue on the surface.

SOURCE: washing machine drum is very wobbly
* General tips
* Balance the load
* Level the machine
* Inspect the water pump for a blockage
* Inspect the coupling
* Inspect the transmission
* Adjust the drive belt tension
* Check the motor bearings
* Check the drum brakes
The above are possibly the general remedies for this problem.But possible if the problem still persists after this, possibly the drum bearings might have been damaged during the previous heavy vibrations.Please do post comments.Will be glad to help you out.Good luck.

if it sounds like an aircraft taking off, it can be nothing other then the bearing, sorry. this is how they sound before they break completely, most commonly caused by not using high efficientcy detergent. need back half of tub replaced. very labor intensive and must have prior experience becuase whole machine needs to be disassembled

If this machine is not belt driven, then more than likely is the motor coupler. To give you an idea of this problem follow this link....
