Hello,
I do not believe it is the belt. Their is a brake on the washer not that much unlike the brakes on your car,and 1 of 2 possible things are causing it not stop;
1) the brake lining is wore out and not holding and it needs to be replaced
2)the main tub pulley is hanging up and not engaging the brake as soon as a power is no longer send to the motor,as soon as motor stops rotating the brake is suppose to engage immedietly
to check which it is,is not to complicated,pull the washer out some from the wall and tilt it back so the control panel is resting on the wall and the bottom frame has been raised somewhat upward. remove the belt by grabbing it and while pulling down rotate it off of the main pulley and then turn the main center pulley in a clockwise direction a full 360 degree rotation,then while very carefully watching,turn it in a counterclockwise direction and see if it rises about a 1/2 inch then release it and it should move byitself back down. if it rises and drops back down it the pulley is good and the brake lining must be replaced, if no rise the pulley is what needs to be replaced.
oh i forgot to say remove the white plastic cover to see the rise/return of the pulley
