Took off heating element. Forgot where wires go.

Cyman for Model Number WED6400SW0

Answer Hello Cyman. This is a closed circuit. As long as the red wires are connected to the element, it is fine. The terminals on the wires are a differnt size for the element.

You reccomend part # AP2976290 as the proper thermostat for a heating unit with 3 wire connections. I can't locate the part on your web site , or that of anyone else. Help. Thank you.

Andrew for Model Number GEW9878Pw1

Answer Andrew, You do have the correct part number 3404153 for the: 180dgr. cycling, hi limit thermostat with 3 receptacles, that mounts on the heater assembly of your dryer. If you click on the part number I've attached, the system will load the part diagram on the AppliancePartsPros.com home page. I'm sure you'll be fine from there, Good Luck.

I have a replacement heating element (3401338). It has 3 wire connections- two are 3/16ths and the third is 1/4. These connections match-up to the wires off the bundle. However there are no wires for a high limit thermostat, which from the drawings seems to work with a heating element with two,not three, connections. Do I even need the thermostat?

Andrew S for Model Number GEW9878PW1

Answer Hello Andrew. Yes, you need the thermostat 3404153. It has a welded leg that connects to one side of the element. This takes the place for the forth connection. Hope this helps.
