Thanks For the reply Dan!
First, Yes I have emailed RC for instructions but have not received an answer as yet (Just sent, 1-21-21)
I think the resistor is like your photo in your first reply, but not what was included in the box.
Below is a photo of inside the control panel that looks just like mine
and also the only instruction the person wrote a solution for the relay connections

but not sure what terminals he is referring to as he posted no photos

Tricky Time resistor issue
The price was good but I didn’t figure out until days and hours of research later that the little orange wire, time resistor, was a replacement for the former time resistor in my Kenmore brown head dryer that looked nothing like this new one. Turns out this is the factory replacement at any store and they no longer supply the old resistor. Because it looked so different and there were no directions or videos I returned the product after replacing only the timer and finding my dryer still wouldn’t turn off when the cycle ended. Turns out my dryer wasn’t stopping not only because I needed a new timer, but a new resistor.
If you have a black two nob time resistor that needs to be replaced, take the wires from that and attach them, one on each side, to the orange wired time resistor supplied here. Then tuck it under/in to replace the back panel of dryer without pinching wires. You may only need to replace the resistor and not the timer, which is much cheaper.
This would have been at most a 30 minute fix going slow, but not knowing what to do this took over a week and a lot of research and dead ends.
Again,
Thanks for the reply !
