Cheers Clyde, just got the new part from makers. Still some discrepancies though?? Do you have an address I can send a picture too?? If not I can try and explain, starting from the twin connector on the new element. It has a black and blue wire. The black goes to a single spade socket connector with the brown wire from the element and connects to the RH thermostat. The long blue wire which goes to the other terminal on the RH thermostat goes to some sort of switch on the back panel (think it’s to switch between the 2 heat settings). That only leaves me with 2 orange wires??? One from the 3rd element coil and the other goes to the timer on the front of the dryer. They have the right connectors to connect to both terminals onthe LH thermostat but the wires from the original were black and orange. In my very simplified world of elecronics it looks ok it’s jjust the color issue? My brother in-law say they may have been “harmonised” whatever that means
Re: Crusader CT51V – new element but wiring changed??????
Checked all the packaging it came in but no part number. All I know that its a 230v, 2200w (200w less than on the model sticker on the rear of the dryer). I had to give the serial number to the makers when ordering so I’m assuming it’s the correct one. It has the 4 elements, top 2 are joined on the RHS, the bottom 2 also on the RHS. On the LHS top 1 has brown wire that goes to flat spade connector, 2nd and 3rd are joined together then orange wire to a spade socket connector, bottom one blue wire also a spade socket connector (picture available) I know this info is far from what you requested but it’s all I have and your help is appreciated. The LH thermostat on the dryer itself had a black wire and an orange wire previously, the RH thermostat had a brown wire then a blue connecting to it previously.
and I thought it was going to be soooo simple to save some money buying th part myslef. Doh!!
