Hi John, the Westinghouse motor had 5 wires going to it. Has the red, blue, yellow, green, white wires going to it. Since it works along with being quiet, going to leave it alone for now. As the saying goes: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”.

I had a DE808 that would automatically run if I shut the door after opening it. I found one of the 2 legs of the control switch for the "Regular" cycle stuck in the switch that refused to spring back out. A couple squirts of silicone spray fixed that.

Just thought I'd throw that out there in case someone with a 606/608/806/808 dryer has that problem in the future. May also occur with the D750 and D906 models, too.

Checked everything, so far everything is wired up correctly and no stuck/welded contacts anywhere. The only advantage with it starting up as soon as the timer is moved from the off position or the door closed, is you can schedule it to come on at a specific time if it’s opening on 120v on one of those programmable three prong timer outlets, or a smart outlet for a air conditioner.
