Your belt has a 1/2 twist in it. Pull the rubber mat, rotate the motor pulley through the platter holes, and look for the twist. Fix this until rotation no longer reveals a twist.Replace the mat.
Replace it.

Maybe next time you might turn it OFF before handling the belt.
Try this with power off - manually rotate the turntable and look for where drag might be. You should be able to feel the drag. It is possible you didn't route the belt properly.

There's either a lot of grease or something in the motor, or the motor control circuit has a fault on it. Try spraying the motor with Servisol Video 40 first. (available from Maplin UK or Radio Shack USA).
