Three spade connectors and two wires. Which connects where?

Sounds like the door switch has the wires backwards.. Should be three wires to connect on the spades.. If on wrong. It thinks the door is still open.

It doesn't matter.

reconect white an pink an grey wire an reconect brown wire just conect back the way thay came off ok.

There is a wire which connects to a connection towards the front of the drum itself on the right side which when the drum wobbles, comes off. When it gets loose, it may start to arc so that the spade connector needs replacing. In extremis the whole unit may need replacing. This seems to govern whether the heater elements turn on or not. If you put the connector back on, I'll bet the heater starts to work again

HI. Normally, this will be an issue within the start switch circuit. If you have an interior drum light, and it will illuminate when the dryer door is open, this will confirm that the door switch is ok. Use the test procedure below to confirm failure to the dryer start switch. If the switch passes the test, simply replace the control sector. The control sector can be a timer module, or control board. It must be replaced, if the start switch passes the inspect, and test, below.


Locate the start switch(Usually located in the control panel housing). it will have two or three wires connected to it. Label the wires and connections so that you can properly reconnect them later. The wires are connected with slip on connectors. Firmly pull the connectors off of the terminals (do not pull on the wire itself). You may need to use a pair of needle-nose pliers to remove the connectors. Inspect the connectors and the terminals for corrosion. If either is corroded they should be cleaned or replaced.

Use a multimeter to test for continuity. Set the meter to the ohms setting X1. For a two wire switch, touch one probe to each terminal. You should get a reading of infinity. With the probes still in place, press and hold the start switch, the reading should change to zero.

For a three wire switch, touch one probe to the terminal labeled NC (or CT1) and touch the other probe to the terminal labeled CO (or R1). You should get a reading of infinity. With the probes still in place, press and hold the start switch, the reading should change to zero.

If the switch fails either test, it should be replaced.

Hi, i would advise to test the start switch, to confirm the damage. If the start switch passes the test, simply replace the door switch.
