The parts matched up pretty good and I made the changes. BUT, when I go to start the dryer the drum won't turn until I push it by hand. I have to open the top lid and push the drum while turning it on, then it runs fine. I am wondering if the new felt gasketts are creating too much friction??

Two things to check, when you put the belt on is it rib side down? Also, did you put the belt around the pully the way, it was before? Tom ApplianceEducator.com
