Hello Mike, This sounds like someone has changed the belt and has installed the wrong one. This will prevent the drum from turning at the proper speed, impairing the units' ability to tumble the clothes properly. If the belt has never been changed, the voltage supply to the unit should be checked at the terminal block. If it is correct, the voltage to the motor should be checked and if it is below 120Vac, the cause of the voltage drop will have to be located to correct the issue. If the voltage is correct, the motor bearings should be checked.

Hello Shirley. You will need to remove the front panel to access this. It sounds like the front belt your talking about, is actually the front seal. WP37001132 The dryer only has one belt on it. You will need to replace the seal. Hope this helps.

Hello. Usually the belt does not ride in a grove, just around the drum. When you install the belt, trun the drum slowly to align it up. Hope this helps.
