richseattle56 Posted October 1, 2012 Author Posted October 1, 2012 there is a red wire coming down from control panel and connects to idler switch on the other side of switch it turns to a pink wire
RegUS_PatOff Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 White goes to groungaccording to your wiring diagram:White wire and Brown wire should be Neutral(would be ground with a 3-wire Dryer Cord)Door Switch wire should be Brown w/ Yellow stripered wire coming down from control panel and connects to idler switch on the other side of switch it turns to a pink wirebrown to hi-limit thermoshould be Brown from Timer to Hi-Limit, stays Brown, goes to Idler Switch then turns to PinkThat same Brown also goes to one side of Start Switch, then turns to Red to motorBrown doesn't go to MotorWas this Dryer working at all when you got it ?Had it been re-wired by someone ?
richseattle56 Posted October 1, 2012 Author Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) It was hook up by my customer and it buzzed as soon as you plugged it in. I changed the wiring around and got it to work and not buzz but the dryer came on as soon as you put it on any cycle I have not been able to get it to come on and run. It buzzes when plug in with every configuration I have tried. He got the part from Sears and the instruction sheet that is the PDF posted on previous page did not come with it. I tried to contact Sears support and they say they dont put the instruction sheet in the box (by poilicy) because it is a liability. So could the customer have burnt up the motor? I have used the wiring colors in the top picture of the PDF but motor still buzzes.I only have no stiped wires that go to motor the only stripped wire i have is the red w/ black stripe that comes off the black wire connector and goes to door assembly.

RegUS_PatOff Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 red w/ black stripe that comes off the black wire connector and goes to door assembly.Red w/ Black should go to the Door Light... got it to work and not buzz but the dryer came on as soon as you put it on any cycle Start Switch wiring problem ?OR bad Start Switch ?should be Brown from Timer to Hi-Limit, stays Brown ... that same Brown also goes to one side of Start Switch, then turns to Red to motorBrown doesn't go to MotorWhat color wires are on the Start Switch ...I can't help you if it was re-wired ..you (or someone) would first need to follow the wiring diagram and connect everything as original
richseattle56 Posted October 1, 2012 Author Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Red and orange on one post, Brown on the other start switch.Start switch infinte ohms when off, continuity when turned.The brown does go to start switch not to the high-limit as stated above. the brown that i have to motor is same wire all the way to start switchAll the wire ties are in place and nothing looks like its been rewired Edited October 1, 2012 by richseattle56
RegUS_PatOff Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 as shown on the wiring diagram:Red should go to Motor
richseattle56 Posted October 1, 2012 Author Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) I traced the brown wire back still in all the factory wire ties. It goes to the left of of the start switch to the motor. Edited October 1, 2012 by richseattle56
RegUS_PatOff Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 well, then that's not the correct wiring diagram, or I don't know what else to tell you ...
richseattle56 Posted October 1, 2012 Author Posted October 1, 2012 The red wire from the start switch goes to the signal switch and to the to the idler arm switch. The brown wire goes to the motor and the High limit thermo.
