ADE20L1A Admiral Dryer - Instructions

i checked the power cord to be sure it was plugged in properly. i checked the thermal fuse in the front. i checked the thermostat fuse. i checked the heater element circuit and found infinite ohms. i checked kept the front cover up and watched that the heating element never came on. that confirmed my decision to buy the heating element. i installed a new one along with the thermostat that came in the kit. problem solved! my dryer is working again and everyone is happy again.

Found the heating element under top of dryer towards the back and replaced it

I unclipped the top of the dryer for access to the heating coils. I unscrewed the bracket holding the high limit thermostat (the heating element was directly below the high limit thermostat). I removed one screw holding the heating element in place, and then removed the faulty heating element. I checked the old heating element and the old high limit thermostat with a multimeter to confirm that they were faulty - both the heating coil and the HL thermostat had continuity but the coils looked like they needed to be replaced (not rusty, but dingy). I installed the new heating element and the new HL thermostat, closed the top of the dryer and ran the dryer - it worked :) Thanks partselect.com!

Identified the rollers as the root cause of the drum not freely rotating. They also squeaked a little at the beginning of any cycle. I replaced the rear rollers and shafts using the parts from the roller replacement kit. Easy to do. The hardest parts was re-installing the belt.

took the dryer apart noticed it needed a belt and rear drum supports. Ordered the parts(they were very helpful on getting the right part . they came in very fast (less than 24 hours). replace the broken parts. The dryer is working great.

Turn off power. Move dryer away from wall and release the top by lifting up to release the two clips. Lay top against the wall. Remove the two screws, one in each corner, left and right inside the cabinet. Lift front panel up and out away from dryer. Place along right side of dryer. You may need to unlatch the wiring for the door switch. Reach inside the bottom of dryer and release the belt. Lift the dryer drum out along with the belt. Observe the two guide rollers that the drum rides on. Using a blade screw driver release the clips that hold the rollers onto the spindles. Clean up around each spindle. Install new rollers in reverse order and put all back together. The hardest part is reinstalling the belt. Put belt around the drum, around the motor pulley and then onto the tension roller. Good luck..

Replaced thermal fuse actually fixed the problem, but also replaced the heating element since you have to remove it to get to the fuse. Just remove the top and parts are accessed in the rear 3 screws.

replaced belt first didnt fix the noise so i replaced rear drum support roller kit and that fixed the noise this was a cheap fix cost me about 70.00 dollars verses a new dryer thank you your website was a big help

I'm an ex auto mechanic so I'm pretty good w/my hands. I just followed your instructions on a video you provided & it was really easy. Thanks!

I had to open the top of the dryer which was different for me. All of the dryers I've ever owned have had a panel on the back to remove. Fairly difficult to get to the fuse itself. I had to remove the heating element and use pliers to take the connectors off the leads. It worked for a few days and is back down again. I hope I didn't damage the element while taking it out but, luckily, I have a spare dryer so I haven't had a chance to look at it again yet.

I opened the lid and using the Nut driver removed the old High limit Thermostat.Then repalces the new one, replaced the lid and plugged in the dryer.It still did not start.I then found the fuse hiddden on the side of the heater element, testd the fuse on it was blown. I placed an order for the fuse.

the hardest part of fixing it was getting the belt off the roller guide. the actual part was easy to fix

Followed directions on movie. This was a simple process. Although in the end I found that replacing the rollers was not the problem in the end. It turned out to be the motor, which I was able to repair with some prior experience with electric motors and a bit of oil. That's why it took as long as it did to make the total repair. Still happy with the outcome.
