does anyone have a diagram of how the belt goes in this model? i heard the flat side of the belt goes on the drum. but i cant seem to get mine like that. cause if i put the flat side to the drum then the flat side is on the motor pulley also. the motor pulley has ribs on it.

I just looked at ours and the soth side is up and the grooved side is against the drum
