Default Dryer Overheating?

The dryer continues to run fine since my maintenance project on it. Thanks again for your help. One thing I've noticed, almost right from the restart, but really didn't pay attention to it. Ever since I got it back together and it's been running nice and quiet, I noticed it no longer reverses direction (like the front load washer does) like it used to before I had it apart. What would I have done that would have interupted its reversing? The only thing I did around the motor was remove and reinstall the belt when I removed the drum. I told you I had taken a can of air and "defuzzed" the motor and its surrounding parts and vacuumed the entire inside of the cabinet. I only disconnected the light and door switch wires when I removed the front panel. I marked each and reconnected them exactly as they were. Any ideas what might have changed? Did I bump something on the motor that overrides the reversing sequence? I don't remember the duration between reversing but it wasn't more than a couple of minutes. I stood in front of it today and it ran probably 4 minutes and no reverse. It runs fine without reversing but it was designed to reverse, so I'd like to correct what I might have changed...any suggestions?
