Suggestions on what to do? It also has blue on the inside turn barrel. That doesn't seem to cause a problem, but maybe it is leading to something.

I believe they are the same but please double check this. If they are the same unplug the unit and swap the relays and then give it a try. If it now runs OK but you have no heat you know that the relay is bad. Also I do not understand the following "It also has blue on the inside turn barrel."

My husband and I are not mechanical, we are looking at the back of the dryer thinking that there are two bolts that need to be removed to get the panel off. Can you give us any tips on removing the back to get to the relay switches?
