Bosch washing machine, front loader, motor works, belt ok, but drum doesn't spin

We have a Bosch WFO2460. With no load in the machine, it seems to work ok, but with half a dozen items of clothing, the drum doesn't spin. The motor seems to be functioning properly, the motor turns, the belt is fine and the big pulley wheel turns. The drum kind of swaggers a little turning maybe 1/16th of a turn before coming back to where it started - then doing it again.

    Check the motor brushes (see our video: How to replace washing machine carbon brushes in the advice centre) and replace if necessary.
