I've had a similar thing happen several times with my HW 17f. Luckily, I found it to be an easily fixed problem. It's been a few years since it last happened, and I'm having trouble remembering exactly the steps that were involved...I believe what I did was first remove the platter. Under the platter, I found there were two or three screws holding the spindle to the motor. Those screws had come loose. All I did was re- tighten those screws, then reattach the platter. After this, hundreds more records were cleaned before the problem popped up again.
My VPI RCM is 12 years old; it has cleaned probably 2000 records and it still works like brand new. Thing is build to last forever!

My 16.5 did the same thing. In those days, they glued down the cork mat and you had to pull it off to get to the screws.
I never bothered replacing the cork, I now run with an AQ sorbothane mat. If you have a recent model it should have an inner cork circle that can be removed to access the screws.
It has a glued-down foam mat. I can feel 3 indentations around the spindle. I guess that might be them.
Thanks
You could draw a circle around the three screws and cut the cork with a razorblade so you don't have to remove the entire mat.
