New Motor and pulley in a Compact 24" WP built Dryer

Nice installation job Louie, it does appear in in your pictures that the old and new motor pulleys are about the same diameter. After you get these machines running check the RPMs of the drum and compare them to the other dryer and more importantly with a real load of laundry run the dryer with the door open both at the beginning of a drying cycle [ wet clothes ] and at the end of a drying cycle when the clothing is dry and see if you are getting the correct tumble patterns. If the drum is tumbling too fast it can result in slow drying and wrinkled clothing.

Non Heating KM 120 Volt Dryer

Look first at wire connections in the heater circuit, then at the 2 control thermostats, then a bad heater contact in the timer or centrifugal switch on the motor and lastly an open heating element. The 120 volt dryers almost never had a heating element failure unless a bobby pin fell on to it, Louie is that very likely around your home, LOL.
