Hotpoint CTD40 element wiring?

[planenut]

Hi all, I thought this would be easy, I have a CTD40 with a dead element; I got another CTD40 with a good element. They have different wiring, great.
The original has five wires coming from the element assembly to a multi-plug, that's easy; the fresh one has the same multi--plug and the same wires but these are wired differently on the element set, another single blue wire that goes to one of the stats, then to a single teminal on the control box. Another single that runs eventually to a relay just in the machine from the "return" neutral wire.
Any ideas please?
Are there any wiring diagrams? there are not in the manual.
Hoping that someone has been there before me.

The two heaters are not interchangeable but the blue wire on the new heater is from the one shot is a neturel supply , that means if the stat pops then the mc will be dead. On the old heater if it was gonna pop the stat it would blow cold air so copy the wires from the old heater I would say look at the orange wire on the old one that's how it should be wired , if you disconnected the blue one on the new one it might still work as long it's got the orange one on the stats.

Thanks for that rocks1, I thought that may be the route to go, but it's just odd that, though they are the same model, the wiring should be that different. I suppose that comes with design modification.

Next to tackle is the wiring for the pump as that differs as well.

thanks again.

Having taken Rocks1's advice, I sorted the wiring and all works perfectly - brilliant advice.

Hi
I have the same dryer and I have just purchased a new element which also has 2 separate blue wires that are not present on the old element. I have copied the wiring from the old element exactly, using the blue wires as the inter-thermostat link, but now the dryer works, only on high heat. Normal heat blows cold, any suggestions.

Thanks in advance
