I have a series 80 Kenmore electric dryer. When I push the start button the dryer will start and go through it's entire cycle however the drum is not turning and therefore the clothes are still wet, it does heat up.I removed the top and could turn the drum by hand though not that easy with a load of wet clothes. I inspected what I believe is the belt on the back edge of the drum,this looks to be about 1 1/4 inches wide and looks like it's made of some synthetic material. Is there another belt somewhere? What's my problem? Thank you Very much.

IF the belt around the tub is NOT broken , then you need to check the moter on the bottom of the dryer to see if it is working , that's what turns the tub ,::IF I have helped ,rate me at bottom

Belt could be streched and came off the tension pulley
