Brian for Model Number MED6230HW1 Hello. I just installed WP3387747 in a customer's dryer and I noticed after I reconnected the wires it was wired different than other Whirlpool dryers. I made a diagram before disconnecting the wires. Basically there was a main power wire going to the thermal fuse, then from the other terminal of the thermal fuse to one of the terminals of the heating element. Then the other main power wire connected to the high limit thermostat, then from the other terminal of the high limit thermostat to the other terminal of the heating element. The dryer heated up so I assume the wiring was correct. It just seemed odd. Usually a main power wire connects to the thermal fuse, then a jumper from the other terminal of the thermal fuse to the high limit thermostat. Then another jumper wire from the other terminal of the high limit thermostat to the heating element. Then the other main power wire connects directly to the heating element. I hope this all makes sense.
Answer Brian, this particular model is wired differently than normal and it sounds like it is wired up properly in accordance to the manufacturer's information. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Monday, July 3, 2023
