Gas dryer coil question.

[[email protected]]

I'm repairing a Hotpoint gas dryer, model number, NBXR463GB0WW. The
flame detector switch is bad. This dryer might have been previously
been worked on and I want to make sure that the booster/hold coil is
installed properly. Are the three terminal pins supposed to be facing
up or down? Or, if you can tell me which coil has the higher
resistance, I can figure it out that way.

Thanks for your reply.

I should have checked this out first before posting. The terminals will only
fit into the plug one way. Also, there is a notch in the solenoid that lines
up with the retaining plate so you know which way is up.
