Was this the original problem or has this just started since you worked on the unit.

Try turning the drum in the correct direction by hand.
Should turn fairly easily.
You may want to try this on a couple other dryers to get a feel for it.

If it is hard to turn then it is probably the rear support bearing or the front drum support.

4:10 in the morning.....Denman you are getting up to early!! Yikes!!! Denman how about sending that how to put the belt on site. Sounds like the bellt is slipping, or the idler pully might be the issue. Check and see if you put the idler pully spring in the right place. Tom ApplianceEducator.com

Here are the belt sites as it may well be a slipping belt.

Note the the ribbing on the belts. They show it going across the belt not along it but this is just so you know which is the ribbed side.
