How do I reconnect a dryer fan motor on my Indesit WDE12?

In order to replace the dryer fan motor on my Indesit Evolution 1200 washer/dryer, model number WDE12, I disconnected all electrical spade connectors on the fan housing, including those to the heating coil,allowing me to lift free the complete section of ducting which held the dryer motor and fan assembly. Thinking that, after I had replaced the motor, reconnecting the terninals would be a simple matter of shortest length of lead connects to nearest terminal and longest lead connects to furthest terminal, etc, I did not attempt to label any terminals with references to show which connected to which. How wrong could I have been?!?!? From the wiring harness, I have 1 black lead, 2 finer gauge blue leads and 2 heavier gauge blue leads, one labeled TF and the other labelled RA. The blue lead labelled RA shares a connector with another short heavy gauge blue lead labelled MV. This short blue lead has a further connector at the other end. I have to connect these terminals to:-
2 terminals on the dryer fan motor (top & bottom).
2 terminals on ends of heater element.
2 terminals on a potted unit, situated about half-way between the heater element terminals, which I am guessing, has something to do with the condenser.
Help me,PLEASE!
Thanks in anticipation.
