I have three wires coming from the motor 1)black 2)yellow 3)green/blue
I have a red & black going to the left side of the motor switch
I have a red, white & blue wires going to the right side of the switch
and I have a blue jumper wire.

How do these connect to the twelve terminals on the motor switch and the two terminals on the resistor?

Hi Tom

Sorry no one has gotten back to you, but I do not have the wiring diagram that will answer your question and I suspect those who reply on this site do not have one also. If you have not already done so, you should look in the console of your dryer and see if there is a wiring diagram or spec information that will help you.

If not, I recommend you post on some other forums and they might have someone who has your particular model and can give you the info you need. Also, I will look to see if I have a similar model in the shop, and if so I will inspect the motor to see how it is wired. It will probably be next week before I can do so, and if you do not have a post from me it means I was unsuccessful.

Good luck, sorry we could not have been more helpful.

I was able to find a picture of my motor and determine the wiring.

1) black from motor to left side, back row, top
2) red and black from control panel to red on left side, front row, bottom & black to left side, front row, middle terminal
3) red, blue & white from the control panel to the right side, front row with red to bottom, blue to middle & white to the top
4) yellow from the motor to the right side, back row, top
5) blue green from the motor to the left side of the resistor
6) blue jumper from the right side of the resistor to the right side, back row, middle terminal.

Here is the link to the diagram:

Lesson learned....never think you can remember how the wiring went....always diagram what you take apart.

I hope this will help someone else.

Thanks
Tom

Glad you found it Tom

All of us have been down that road where we did not document how to replace the wiring

Thanks for updating us
