Kenmore Dryer - Drum sagging?

[joefuss1984]

Good Morning! I am finally getting around to working on this Kenmore clothes dryer, model 110.96581120. I have replaced the belt, both drum rollers, the rear felt on the drum and the front felt on the front panel. I put it all back together and the drum still seems to be sagging in the rear top. Ive included some pictures. Two of the pictures show the drum from the inside at the top, one showing the inside at the bottom of the drum and another showing the fitting in the rear with the top up. Running the dryer empty it seems to do all right but I do know before replacing all of the parts, some of the clothes were getting pinched and getting marks on them. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Unfortunately I must have had something wrong even tho it seemed to run just fine. It just stopped in the middle of the second load and won’t even try to start.

I don't see anything alarming in the photos.

Failure now likely is something electrical.  Wires off?  Door switch?  Thermal fuse blown?

I’ll be going back over it tonight after work. Is it normal for there to be a gap at the top part of the drum on the inside?

I found a blue wire on the right side of the timer that was loose. I took a pair of needle nose pliers to tighten down the "crimp" (not sure the correct terminology). The dryer fired right up and I let it run for about 40 minutes. I'll know more in the next few days if that seemed to fix it permanently.
