The dryer works great, the only problem is you have to "jump start" it by manually turning the drum -- could be one time, could be 20 times. Any ideas what this could be? Anyone else have this problem?

Who replaced the belt? Check the wires to the drum sensor and make sure they are ok, if the drum was pulled out or forward too far, there is a set of contacts that have to be checked when putting it back to make sure they are ok.
I beleive the start capacitor is faulty & it has dropped away from where it's supposed to mount inside,the capacitor is probably dangling down,hanging by it's wires & banging on the drum as it rotates.The start capasitor gives the motor it's first kick start to get goin & it's not working that's why you have to help by turning the drum.

this site has proper belt routing pictures for several brands maytag included might be helpful the only other thing i can think of the idler may be worn out or bent or drum may be tight not turning properly should turn freely with belt loose from inside dryer
