Hi,
Here is a tip that will help you with changing your dryer plug. Dryer Cord and Wiring Dryer 3 Wire or 4 Wire

Yeah. They do make contacts that you con solder the wire back on.

you need to replace that felt piece along with the drum glides/rollers and while its out check the rear drum bearing also

The following link explains how to connect a power cord to your appliance:

If the wires at the terminal block have no colored wires, the outer two conductors (left and right) are the two hot leads. The center conductor is neutral. Ground should be self-explanatory. Ground and neutral are NOT terminated together in a 4-wire configuration. Make sure you attach the ground to the ground lug on the appliance equipment cabinet. If you have any questions, please let me know. I hope this helps you.

On a three wire configuration, the ground and the negative are tied together at the center position, using the dryer ground strap. Following is a description of the difference between three and four wire. Hope it helps you.
These two pictures illustrate the power wiring on a the terminal of an electric dryer. The one on top is the old-style three-wire configuration. Most people have this type in their homes. New code changes, though, require that dryers now have a four-wire cord, shown on the bottom.
Besides the number of wires in each cord, there are two important things to notice. First, in the four-wire configuration, notice that the dryer's grounding strap is folded back on itself. The whole point of the four-wire cord is to separate the ground from the neutral. The green wire (the "new" extra wire in the four-wire cord) is attached to the dryer cabinet. In the three-wire configuration, the grounding strap is left intact and the neutral and ground are tied together.


Sure hope this helps you find a resolution to your delimma! Best wishes.

first thing to check is your ignitor

*First ; before starting unplug unit or shut off breaker.

you should be able to match up color for color on your dryer, the fourth wire, green (ground) screws to the chassis, or cabinet. if your wires aren't coded as you say, it is red, white and black, left to right. see picture I've supplied.
hope that helps

good luck

If there is a copper line feeding gas to it, PULL THE DRYER WAY FROM THE WALL AND TURN THE GAS OFF AT THE VALVE IMMEDIATELY!

Natural gas and copper do not mix, and the copper line will corrode from the inside out.

Now, on to the problem, it's very likely the timer has failed IF it does not rotate all the way through the drying cycle. If it does, and the clothes do not heat up, then reply back what you are experiencing and I will give you move help.

If the wires are not different colors their should be an identifiable neutral wire that one should go on the middle. then the other two on the outer sides.
