ADE20L1W Admiral Dryer - Instructions

first pryed up the dryer top, pulled the two wires for the door switch and removed front panel. remove 8 or 10 blower housing cover 1/4" screws. removed blower moter shaft snap ring pulled out damaged blower wheel. slid on the new wheel with the flats on the shaft and new wheel alighned up. installed blower clamp around blower stub. installed motor shaft snap ring. reinstalled blower cover cover. installed front dryer cover to include installing door switch wiring. put down top and pushed dryer back into place making sure to install the blower vent hose. started dryer to test operation. all worked well the first time.

My 11 year old daughter broke the door clasp to the dryer by repeatedly slamming it trying to get it to close. I told her to go down stairs write down the make model and serial number and come back up and find a place to buy it online. I left with instructions not to use the computer for anything else until the part was found. Less then 15 minutes later I came back because I heard giggling. She was chatting but had found an exploded view of the door and the part. She was very pleased with herself! We bought it and it arrived a few days later. I saw the empty box. She had opened it and taken it down and installed it herself. A good lesson, for her and me

We pulled out the old lint filter, cleaned out all the lint that had gotten down inside the dryer due to the broken filter. We then replaced it with the new filter. It is now drying much better and the lint is not getting down inside the machine any longer.

Well tried to find this simple part around Columbus and even maytag website no luck.Parts select had it to go and arrived earlier than expected.Fixed it less than 5 minutes works great.taken longer to put the light bulb back in,Really like the accuracy and quick response from parts select.If I had called a service tech probably would have cost $50.00 or more for a part that cost a little over $3.00 and saved this site in case I need to order other parts.Thank you

Remove front panel of dyer, pry open with srew driver,be careful not damage enamel. Remove drive belt, pull drum forward and out. Drum glide are located at bottom of drum rest,rollers at rear of dyer.

Unplugged the dryer. Released the two forward sping clips holding the top in place and hinged it open. Removed the two 1/4" screws(one on each upper edge of front panel). Disconnected the door switch. Pulled out and up to remove the front panel. Located the cycling thermostat on the blower housing. Disconnected the thermostat wires, removed the (2) 1/4" screws. Installed the new thermostat and assembled in reverse order.

Removed old trap and installed new trap.

Tilt dryer top. Inspect damaged part(s). In my case it was the high-limit thermostat; but since the dryer is old, I ordered the heating element kit. The thermostat is included. Disconnect wires from thermostat and remove. Disconnect wires from element and remove. Carefully install new element and reconnect wires. Same for thermostat. Dryer works fine. Also, delivery time was one day. Thank you Partselect.

the same way it was described on your site, this dryer is nearly 17 years old, I've needed to change this at least 5 times.

MY SON Chris unpluged the dryer.than opened the top of the dryer and used a screw driver to unscrew the thermo cuppler and moved it over so he could get to the heating element .he than used a screw driver to take out the screws holding on the old heating element and than he put on the new one.he than put all the screws back in the thermo coupler and closed down the top of the dryer. he than pluged the dryer back up and turned on the dryer .it took about 1 hour to do it all. and i'm proud to say it works wonderfully.

Purchased a new blower wheel from you and installed.
The part was exactly what I needed and was delivered ahead of schedule. Ordering over the internet was easy and straight forward.

Popped in the new part. Really! That easy!

Removed the old lint filter and slid in the new one. It took me longer to get the box open to get the new lint filter out than it did to actually replace the part.

It was very simple thanks to your notes on line
I would use your site for ordering any other needs I have.
Thank You

I used a butter knife to push the spring clips that hold the top down, this was the hardest part of the repair. Once the top was open it took about 20 minutes to pull out the old part and replace with the new, including running the dryer on high for a few minutes to get rid of the new element smell. Always unplug before attempting any electrical work.
