Maytag SDG305DAWW dryer drum won't turn under heavy load

Recommended Posts

Title pretty well describes issue; dryer drum won't turn under heavy load but turns under light loads 100% of the time. You can hear motor energize with all loads.  New OEM rollers installed couple years ago along with new belt. Drum will turn by hand when empty but the effort to turn it by hand seems high.

Advice or suggestions, please.

Thanks

Check the belt, smooth side should be out, ribbed side against the drum.
