I am going to assume now, if you luck at the back of the machine, you will see a cover that is tide down with screws, loosen the screws, take the cover off, and you will find a big pulley that is attached to the drum then check if the belt is still on the pulley,, if not, Then I think you need to get a electrician. I simply suggested to let the water out, that you can take the clothes out. If you need to luck somewhere else then you can tilt it on it's side or even on it's head.

Ok, I got the water out of the tub and have the exhaust line and the hot and cold water supply hoses drained and disconnected. What am I going to encounter trying to get to the belt?
