More problems with this washing machine.

The belt that turns the drum keeps coming off, it's a new belt.
why would this happen ?
what should I check ?

I think the drums moves back and forward too much, side to side only a few mm. But all brackets and springs seem to be in place.

alignment of the motor pully and drum pully might be out.

Have you had the motor out of the machine?
