 Hi again, Willie. Sorry about the delay. I got very, very sick and wasn't able to do anything for about 2 weeks. The girlfriend has resumed the glares now that I'm well again. All's right with the world.

To answer your question about the possibility of the wires being crossed on pins 2 & 3 of the door switch, I checked, and they appear to match the wiring diagram. My interior light does come on when the door is open (most of the time, anyway) and I verified that it goes out with the door shut. With the dryer plugged in and counting down but no motor spinning, I checked the voltage across pins 2 & 3. There's 120V across them when the light is on (door open) and 0V across them when the light is off (door closed).

I tried the AC cord trick on pins 4 & 5 of the old motor -- nothing. I'm about to try the same thing on the new motor -- just need to rip everything apart again in order to get to it.

I checked for 12V across the motor relay coil with the dryer powered up and counting down but no  It tested fine, but I ordered in a new one, anyway.

Next I'll check to make sure I can get the new motor to spin from the AC cord. If that works as expected, I'll check the voltage hitting the motor from the harness and make sure there's 120 flowing thru it.

I'll post back later this evening when I have the other results.

Thanks for your patience and your advice!
