Dryer was not heating, so purchased a heating element kit. I replaced the heating element and all fuses attached. All wires were lined up for the appropriate part. Then i decided to vacuum out before i finished, which caused the wires to get mixed up. I know which wires attach to the element itself. But do not know the remainder of the wiring pattern and cannot find it anywhere. Can anyone advise of how wiring should be connected?

Check lint screen light stays on dryer will not turn on
For model number MEDB765FW0
Fix.com logo
Hi Jeremy, thank you for your question! If the light continues to stay on, clean the lint screen, or check the venting going to the outside and verify that it is clear. If this does not help, check that you have the proper voltages to the dryer- 220 and 110. If that checks fine, then take off the top and make sure the belt is on. If that is fine, then access the thermal fuse, part number FIX11766766, on the blower housing and see if it is closed or open. We hope this solves your problem!

Dryer Would Not Turn Off With Door Open
Pryed dryer top open and opened front door. . Unscrewed the 2 retaining screws. Pulled old switch from the wiring harness. Put new switch in place and replaced the retaining screws. Put new switch wire plug into the wiring harness. Before closing top, checked door switch function with dryer on. Dryer cut off when door open an d when closed dryer started normally. . . Maint. Note instruction book should warn that letting door slam, which I did on occaision, broke the switch arm. Might save future problems.

Burned out heater element
Remove the kick plate from the bottom of the dryer by sliding a putty knife along the top edge to release the plastic clamps, one on each side about 4" in from the edges. The kick plate folds out and down. You will see the heat shield on the right, held in by one hex head screw. Remove screw and heat shield. The element is positioned in a n open-front housing and is fastened to the left side of the housing by two hex head screws, located on the "rail" of the element and right near the two wires. Remove the hex-head screws that hold the element in place and disconnected the two wires by pulling them out by hand or with needle nose pliers. The only difficulty here is the cramped working area...I recommend a stubby socket driver for these two screws. Most of this I had to do by feel because I could not see the screw heads. Once the screws are out and the wires have been disconnected, slide the old element straight out toward you. You may need to disconnect a small plastic hose located to the left front of the element, but this hose just pulls right off. Vacume the dust & lint build-up out of the whole area, wipe out the element housing and clean up the whole underside of the dryer prior to installing the new element. Installation is reverse of removal. It also might be a good opportunity to clean out your exhaust duct and the vent to the outside. (Never use the aluminum foil-accordian-type duct.) If the exterior dryer vent has any kind of screen over it, remove it and get rid of it. Screens collect lint, lint builds up and burns out elements.
