Ryobi pl 301 planer pulling workpeice to the side

Hey folks, I got a Ryobi 301 planer that has started pulling the work pieces to the right. It also bogs down like it’s really digging deep into the wood but it’s not. Thought it was a dull blade problem so I sharpen them. And it continues to pull to the right. Even if I barely adjust the level maybe 1/16 of a turn it still bogs down and pulls to the right. Sometimes I have to even pushed it through. It doesn’t seem to want to feed. It’s like it’s getting stuck.
Any suggestions other than get rid of the piece of crap would be really welcomed.

The drive belt might be broken? Planer head out of alignment? Send a narrow, one or two inch wide piece through on the right, then on the left, and see if there's a difference?
