The light will come on when you turn the timer knob from the "off" position to timed or auto-dry and will stay on while running.
I had '73 - 800 dryer for a while, but I can't remember if it did this or if I'm confusing it with another model... when it's off, the control panel light (may) come on when you open the door as well.
Check the position of the wires in the door switch. If the light is on when the door closed, the wires are probably on the wrong terminals.
I hope this helps! Kevin
P.S... beautiful dryer! |

My drum light only comes on when the door is opened. The console light comes on when the dial is at any position other than "off."
I have a green 1971 KM dryer in pieces if anyone wants it! It's a good dryer. Fast, reliable, and it has a good auto-cycle. It seems to run a bit on the warm side, but I sometimes grab things before it goes into cool-down. Dave |
