dryer belt snapped
Replaced it as one would. I took off the front facing and replaced the belt. It took a bit of searching to find the proper way to route the belt around the pulley.
It took a while since it was my first time and I wasn't sure what to take apart and what to leave intact.
If I were to do it again, it would take 30 minutes or less.

Bad dryer motor
Replaced dryer motor which was a perfect fit thanks to your help. The process was helped by the internet videos available for the step by step procedure of taking the dryer apart and replacing the bad motor. I also was able to completely clean the inside of the dryer thoroughly, and reassemble it back together .

My last phase of repairs of minor items.
if your unit has over 6,000 hours of operations, one needs to remove the front panel and inspect the sliders that the drum rides on. The video were very helpful to replace the sliders. Unfortunately, my dryer had over 10,000 hours of operations over a 30 years period, hence a major repair costing over $200.00 dollars. The drum sliders were gone, hence the drum eat through the plastic guides. More so, the drum started to eat away the front panel. If the dryer is eating your closes and making a noise, one is looking at a $200.00 repair job. Hence check the sliders early will save one $$$$.

Timer was hard to turn and knobs broke
This repair has been done to death on youtube etc. My dryer and washer are located in a small space with folding doors. The worst part was getting at the screws in back of the control panel. Once this was accomplished it was a simple matter of folding the panel forward and removing the old timer with wires attached and one by one removing the wires while attaching them to the respective terminals on the new timer. A simple task and then replacing the screws to refasten the control panel. This is my second replacement of the timer. I wonder why a more reliable timer doesn't exist for these units. I would have paid a premium price for a more reliable timer.

Plastic tab broke on handle --- temp taped on.
My daughter, who has the dryer in Florida, made the repair herself. She removed the broken handle that had been temporarily taped in place. Cleaned off tape residue with Goo-Gone. Then took the new handle and snapped it into place. Worked just like it was supposed to.
