Won't spin after I changed the belt

I have a heavy-duty Kenmore 70 series washer that I replaced a broken belt. I've put it back together and now it won't spin though it sounds like the motor is spinning the drum and agitator don't. Some oil did leak out of gear box

Most Frequent Causes for Vacuum cleaner belt keeps breaking

Cause 1

Brushroll

If too much hair, string, or lint is caught in the brushroll, the brushroll can get stuck. If the brushroll is stuck, it will put too much strain on the belt and may cause the belt to break. Remove the brushroll and clean out any debris from the bearings. After replacing the brushroll, make sure that it turns freely.

Are you sure hat the belt is on correctly as it sounds as if the tensioner is not doing it's job.
