A busy work schedule did now allow for much free time to finish the GE dryer........The later model motor I had would not fit the motor tray......so I had to re-engineer the bad motor start switch.........

Re soldering the switch back to the motor winding........I also always draw a picture of what Im working on, so that I dont forget what goes where. This is especially helpful when you wait 2 or 3 weeks between repairs!

I also mark (with white out) lines on the motor bearing plates so that they can be installed back in their same location. This often helps when putting the motor back together and also with the alignment of the bearings back to their original position........

Temporarily reconnect the front panel for the door switch, light, and compensated control wires.......and then give it a fast test to make sure the motor works AND the heat and lights come on...........
