HELP PLEASE.
 

I bought a Heating element for a GE. dryer. It is a WE11X10007. It
has three (3) terminal, one of them is common for the two heating
elements and it is for a 240 VAC. How does it work? . From the house
wiring for 240V AC, one Blak= hot; one Red= hot; one White
=neutral and one green = grownd, which cable is connected to de
common terminal (A), which one to the other terminals, B
and C?. Should it be: White to common terminal A; Black to
terminal B; Red to terminal C?. Thank you very much for your
help, I want to relax thinking about it. Luis Mendoza.

HELP PLEASE.
 

The heating element only gets connected to 240 volt. No neutral and no
ground. One of the two hot legs (wires) goes to the common terminal and the
other leg (wire) will connect to both of the other terminals via a three
position switch. Low- sends 240 volts to the smaller element. Med- sends 240
volt to the larger element. High- sends 240 volt to both elements

If you have the correct element for your dryer, then just transfer all
the thermostats/fuses from the old element to the new one, and transfer
wires to the appropriate terminals. If it isn't obvious where the
wires go, then you probably have the wrong element.

Keep in mind that GE sometimes gives two options for elements, either a
re-string kit or a complete element. The re-string kit requires you to
remove the broken element wire from the old housing, and replace it
with the wire in the kit. It can take some skill to ease the wire into
place, so sometimes it is easier to spring for the complete element
instead.

Alway unplug your dryer during repairs. Always test a component with a
meter first to make sure it is really broken, before going to buy the
part. Always buy your parts either by model number on the dryer, or
part number on the part itself.
