Hi,

I have a White Knight Reverse Tumble CL847.

During an attempted repair on my tumble dryer some of the wires were disconnected. I am not sure where the wire that is coming out of what I think is the thermostat on the heater plate goes. The one that will cut out the dryer if it is blocked etc. It is a violet/lilac wire.

In the image, it is on the left coming out of the small black box thing. I was wondering if anyone had any idea where it needs to go.
Apologies for the poor descriptions of things, I am not well versed with this sort of thing.

If you need more info I am more than happy to help!

Many thanksIMG_5755.jpg

Found this image on Ebay but not quite the same model number but is White Knight and everything looks the same.

Cannot find any info on your model number but probably lots built with the same element design.

A zoomed in pic of the wiring would help to trace stuff.

Thank you very much for this. I have wired it back up and it has worked!
