1960 Westinghouse Dryer Test-Run

[moparwash]

Finally after getting the timer and selector back in...a test run of it!
I still am not able to find out where the other wire for the timer goes on and if I installed the rotating drum that indicates which of the 8 cycles you are on..(though heat comes out of the Auto-Dry)selection.
So far it heats up and dries clothes, but without the timer I have to check the clothes manually. At least it lights up all nice

So the timer doesn't advance?

Dave - It just started spinning all by itself!!

Northwesty - The timer does not advance, I hooked up the other wire to the only blank space on the board. I have looked everywhere for a manual for this year of dryer

Love the glow of clothes just about to catch on fire and the fact that it tells you where to load the clothes!! LOL

Wiring Diagrams

Here are 2 wiring diagrams for the DBA-30 dryer. The pictorial shows wire connections and routing, the schematic is for tracing current flow. Hope this helps with your dryer problem.
