MY WHIRL POOL DRYER lew0050pq2 the dryer belt Im trying to replace is just a little to short to go on the motor shaft. Is there a way to do it ?
I looked at the parts diagram and I didn’t see an idler pulley.
Does the motor slide left or right on its bolts? That might be a way to adjust the belt tension.
My motor is fixed theres no adjustment the belt seems too short but is the recommended one from whirl pool.
I found this thread. The last post has two attachments that might help. It looks like the belt just "stretches" on.
