Dryer wont tumble when loaded.

I just replaced the belt on my GE dryer. The tumbler only spins with a few clothes in it. If I put a full load it turns very slowly eventually stopping. Any ideas what I can do?

Check for a "glazed" drum belt or a broken "idler" pulley near or on the motor that keeps the belt tight on the drum

The drum in the dryer has most likely has a belt around it that makes it turn. This belt could have broken and you hear the motor running but the drum can't turn. For more info look it up on you tube. (dryer belt replacement)

My GE profile WPDH8800J doesn't hit high speed

Your belt may be slipping and not spinning the drum to full speed to rid most of the water in clothes.

My dryer wont tumble

Your belt is not installed correctly. The weight of the clothes is making it slip.

Just moved, dryer won't tumble with a load. Error code PF

Did it get tipped in the move? I don't know about the specific model of Maytag, but on my old Kenmore the belt that ran the drum also had a wheel and kind of like a pulley that it had to seated on in order for the belt to stay centered on the drum and turn properly.I don't know how you get the shell off the front to get at the drum, the Kenmore had screws that you had to take out and lift the control panel off and then back to get at the inside. Sorry
