Whirlpool has changed part number and the belt they send is at least a inch shorter. There is no way I can stretch this belt over drum and pulley. I have tried allternate suppliers and have the same replacement belt shown as proper replacement. The replacement belt is measured as 2inches short of pulley when wrapped around drum maging it 4 inchs too short. Only one way to put on and can't think of anything I might be doing wrong
