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

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

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.
