Machine locked up and service tech diagnosed need of new motor and belts. I elected to purchase both online (not here yet). During removal of the motor I managed to disassemble the switch / wiring harness connector that is screwed to the motor casing and provides for all the power connections to the motor. This little gem is new for $70 (no thank you, mine looks fine and was not on the tech's parts list). I need to know how to put all the little metal parts back inside my switch and be sure I'm not going to start a fire or something when I get the new motor and turn the unit on. Oh, and this is all while my wife thinks we're getting a new washer...thank you VERY much for your time.

If you think the only problem with the motor is the centrifical switch, I would take it to a repair place where they can assemble it just like the used ones they have, should be much less than $70. They also should be able to test it there.
I recently just fixed one that had a set of burnt start switches. I just used fine emory paper to clean the contacts.

With some trepidation I opened the package containing the new motor. To my delight I saw that the new motor had the centrifugal (thanks Richappy) switch built in. So, in effect, I was given a replacement and my concern which started this thread became moot. Wiring the new motor to the chasis harness was as simple as can be with matching color leads. Worked great on start...all done!
