Well hears an update I traced purple wires  to timer and looked a t terminals at terminal and looked at terminals on selector switch I had em switched around so now it runs .mind u I'm running it on 120 volts with a tester cord since I'm on back  porch. And every time I open door or stop advance timer and restart pop gfci. Guess motor is cranking out some high amps at start up. Runing it now on timer on regular dry time.see if it runs down to off.while I'm catching up on the fake news on CNN.
