I am a novice and I took the 3 wires off the connectors. I have the new part, Dryer Heating Element, I'm not sure which ones go where.

ANSWER Hello James,
There should be a Red, Red/white and orange wires. The red white goes to the hi limit thermostat on the heater. The red goes to the heater and the orange goes to the heater. Here is a video that may help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfDiR1DwAIo&autoplay=1
