The problem is that the new M460-G timer does not have the same terminal letters as the old one (because there seem to be a variety of sub-models under the M460-G name providing varying options such as an "air dry" function). However, I've at least been able to provide the basic timed heat function using a different M460-G on my old Frigidaire Crown Gas Dryer M/N FDGB23RGS2 . To do this, figure out the terminal functions by rotating the M460-G switch and measure with ohm meter and also inspect wiring diagram (mine was at appliance pros dot com). On Frigidaire Crown FBGB23RGS2 Gas Dryer: The original M460-G is wired: Terminal / Function / Color A / Gas / Org B / Line voltage / Red C / Motor / Wh Timer wired between TM and C AD / Auto Dry / Pink TD / Start Switch and Motor / Tan
On other M460-G Gas Dryer timer (from mystery Dryer), I wired it to into my Crown dryer as follows: Terminal / Function / Crown Dryer Wire color BU / Line Voltage / Red BK / Motor / Wh R / Gas / Org V / ? / No Connection Timer wired between TM and BK WB / switched on while Motor & Gas / Tan OR / ? / Pink (figured it was safe)
Look at the numbers and letters on the old timer and match the wire to the same numbers or letters on the new "R to R , TM to TM, N to N and so on also you might have a wrong part
