Should also have it at dryer power cord connection block. Check connections there for broken/burned wires. Dryer motor runs off of 120vac, timer and heater use 240vac. If good, unplug dryer, check continuity between power plug L-2 blade and timer OR terminal (L-1 goes to timer BK terminal). With timer on in timed dry you should have continuity between timer OR and TM as well as between BU and BK. Eric

Does timer advance without motor running? It should. If not, you have a wiring problem or your not getting 240vac to dryer. Eric
