Good luck

WELL IS THERE TO RED WIRES AND AN ORANGE WIRE TO ELEMENT RED WIRE COMING FROM TOP WIRING HARNESS GOES TO THERMOSTAT ORANGE WIRE GOES TO OTHER SIDE OF THERMOSTAT AND RED WIRE FROM BOTTOM OF HARNESS GOES DIRECTLY ON HEATER

look in the wire schematics that came with the dryer or look them up online. They should tell you what that wire is for.

most electric dryers have a wiring schematic on the back or inside on the back pannel of the unit it self . try too look for one there and it might help you out

check the igniter to make sure it is glowing white and not orange. if it's orange replace it. you may also need the gas coils replaced.

Dryers come with a wire or metal strap connecting the center "neutral" terminal to the frame of the dryer. When using a four wire power cord, take that wire or strap off the frame. (it can be discarded or better yet, in case this dryer needs to ever be converted back to a three wire cord) connect the frame end of the wire / strap to the center terminal of the power block. Now, Green (ground) wire goes to the dryer frame, White (neutral) goes to the center terminal, and the Red and Black (both "hot") wires go to either outside terminal. (one to each)

RED on J4-1,2
BLK on J4-3
YEL on J4-4,5

your dryer has a belt switch go here to see it www.repairclinic.com once there enter your model # and it will show you your parts

To the heating element goes Red and Red with White.
To the Hi-limit thermostat goes Red with White and Black.
To the Thermal cut-off goes Black and Red.
