Excellent!
Was that enough to resolve the chime issue as well?

Yay glad you got it working, Are you going to keep and use it now or get the newer GE dryer.
The MT is a really vintage, the newer GE dryer will do a much better job and is much safer as well.

Chime not working
Dave. The chime hasn't worked in decades. I can't see a striker or anything that would enable the chime to sound. Is there a separate mechanism that strikes the bell? Post a photo if you have one. In the diagram you posted, I don't see any mechanism that would chime.
In the solenoid and selector photo I posted part of the switch is broken as you pointed out. Is this where the chime strike would be located?

Thanks John! Your help is invaluable! And Dave's as well (esp. In keeping me focused).
I'm thinking of keeping the Maytag. It has always worked beautifully. I have a very short dryer run and there has been no accumulation of lint.
The new dryer has been delivered but I didn't let them take the Maytag. The GE is decent but I think the Maytag is a superior machine.
If I let it go, I know I'll regret it.
By the way, the very existence of this forum is nothing short of a godsend!

It's a bit hard to see in the diagram, but the striker is part 54157 / 52690. It would be a piece of metal (I think just a basic screw?) on the end of either a short piece of flexible wire or plastic.
If you have the space and electrical capacity, you should hook both dryers up! One washer with two dryers is a very favorable combination due to the imbalance of time it takes to wash and dry.

"Ask not for whom the bell tolls."
Dave,
Previously, I couldn't understand how the chime mechanism operated. Enlarging the photo once again and from your description, I can only quote Ernest Hemingway. Thank you!
I hope you can see the link.

That's it!
I love the sound of that bell.
