Looking at a poor quality parts drawing for the Kenmore 417.99175120 laundry center dryer unit but I cannot determine if there is a drive belt or where it might be. Any help would be great. Also, what is the best way to access it. Doesn't look like the back is the best way in because of the drum bearing location.

I have the same issue, after taking it apart It looks like a felt gasket is to blame. The gasket is mounted to the door assemble and can only be inspected once the entire front panel of the dryer door is removed. The entire drum of the dyer assemble rests on this gasket as it spins around and years of use have worn it down. So, I am looking for a replacement part now.
