Here are your parts
Replacement parts for WHIRLPOOL KEYS677EQ1 | AppliancePartsPros.com[COLOR="Blue"]Replace high limit cutoff kit, which included high limit cutoff and high limit thermostat.[/COLOR]
These only have an effect on the heating coil.
[COLOR="Blue"]Still same result, will not start. I can here timer running and the start button clicks when pressed and nothing happens. The light goes on and off with the door switch, so i think it is ok.[/COLOR]
Only way to tell for sure is to unplug the unit and then measure across the normally open contacts to see if they close.
I am assuming you have a meter as you said earlier that you had checked the fuse.
[COLOR="Blue"]I tried to jumper the start switch,[/COLOR]
The switch is actually a relay
THe relay coil is the PINK/BLACK to BLUE
The relay contacts are BLUE to ?. Drawing I have does not show a color.
Since you hear it click in (probably the relay coil), it sounds like the contacts are OK.
Unplug the unit and check from the TAN/WHITE or may be TAN to the WHITE on the timer.
When at off this should be infinite ohms.
When is timed dry mid cycle it should be 0 ohms.
Check that the WHITE wire from the timer down to the motor has continuity.
[COLOR="Blue"]but backed out after the first two wires i jumped allowed me to weld and about blinded me.[/COLOR]
Do all the tests with the unit unplugged using ohms as you now have proof that this method is a tad safer.
If you do not own a meter, I would suggest you purchase a one. You can get a decent digital multimeter for under $20.00. You do not need fancy though it is nice if the leads are a couple feet long.
If it saves ordering one unnecessary part it has paid for itself and you end up owning a useful tool.
Most places will not let you return electrical parts so if you order it, you own it.
A couple things to watch when measuring ohms and continuity
1. Always remove power from the machine otherwise you could blow your meter.
2. Always disconnect at least one side of any device you are checking. This eliminates the possibility of measuring an alternate/parallel circuit path.
3. When checking for closed contacts and continuity use the lowest scale (Usually 200 ohms). Then try higher scales. This scale is 0 to 200 ohms so if the device you are measuring is 300 ohms this scale would show an open circuit which it is not, you are just measuring outside the scale's dynamic range.
There is a good STICKY at the start of this forum about it's use.
