that sounds like a bad idler. Check that idler and oil it.

 I was wondering if any one knew how to change the belt on a Frigidaire washer FWS445RFS2 or maybe had a manual?

Listening to what you said first (leaking, etc.) the unit had a bad tub seal, now the bearing is locked up. Time to think about a new machine. The belt  likely burnt up trying to turn a locked tub.
