Matag's adivce for this model is that the ribs of the belt go against the drum "NOT Away" as the forums' diagram shows. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/dryer-repair/25860-dryer-belt-diagrams.html Please change the information as I'm sure it has caused others problems similar to mine.When I reversed the belt with the ribs facing the drum the the drum turns with a full load and the dryer works great. thanks for your response
