My dryer was not heating. I found the heating element and the jumper wire were "broken" at the terminal. I replaced the complete heater assembly and jumper wire. The dryer will not run at all now. It "hums". Do I have it wired wrong? Is there a wiring diagram somewhere or do i need to replace the high limit thermostat or the fuse?

if you have a second person to help, leave drum door open and have someone depress the start button on control panel, while you depress the door switch and then try to push the paddle / baffle of drum clockwise.. if the drum turns on its own, you are getting / have a bad motor ( hopefully you did not wire anything wrong when you replaced the heater / jumper wires.. )

No, the motor is OK. If I connect both wires to the same terminal of the heating element, the dryer runs - no heat. I checked continuity thru the stat, the fuse and the heating element.

Maybe I connected wiring wrong? I connected purple wire from low-limt stat to hi-limt stat; white jumper from hi-limit stat to one heating element terminal; black wire from other heating element terminal to motor.
