AED4475TQ0 Admiral Dryer - Instructions

I followed the video posted on partselect.com of how to fix dryer belt. And only took 20 minutes to fix the dryer.Proud of myself! and save over $160 compared to ask a sears technician come to home to help.

I read several customer feedback articles to find one with problem similar to mine. After eliminating the thermal fuse, it was obvious my motor was bad. Watched the video and easily removed motor. Took motor to a repair shop and they confirmed it was bad. Replacement motor arrived in two days (yes...2 days). Unbelievable quick delivery. Easy to reinstall---only took about an hour. Hey, it would have cost $500-$600 to replace this dryer! Now I feel like I have a new dryer for $80!

My husband figured this would be an easy fix....until he realized the part he had turn to remove the motor was made of plastic and was basically welded to the fan, so needless to say, we are now also replacing the fan....once the fan was loose, it was very easy to put in the new motor and fan and reassemble the dryer...good luck and watch out for those plastic moving parts!

Belt was sent and delivered very quickly. I was able to follow directions that came in the package. Thanks so much for efficient handling.

Used multimeter to check heating coil, it checked ok then checked thermal cut-off it checked open no current could get to coil.I checked all of the venting it was clean with no clogs and made sure the heating fan was working witch could cause dryer to over heat. The dryer is 16 years old and still runs great. DO ALL CHECKS WITH DRYER UNPLUGGED

Disassembled dryer per video instructions. MOdified tension roller assembly by securing it to bottom of dryer. Drilled hole next to bracket and mounted metal clamp with a self tapping screw. It was much easier to install the belt if the tension assembly was stabilized.

Watchhed the video offered and followed those instructions. Super easy,

this repair was very easy. just had to lift the top of the dryer up. removed the wiring harness,removed two screws that held the switch in place.installed the switch ,pluged in the wiring harness,put the top cover of the dryer back down and that was it. everything went very smooth. appox 15 minutes and the dryer was working like it was new. thanks PartSelect.

Checked the old part by bypassing it and that verified it was the problem. Opened the front of the dryer, lower panel then mid section screwws to raise the top to expose the switch, remove the old one and replaced it with the new on, put the front panels back together and test run was good

Took off the front of the dryer & replaced belt- it was a lot easier than I thought. Taking the front off was the hardest part.

Watched video first made the job go easy and fast. Video was repair class 101. Go for it. Parts arrived 2 days after order was placed.

Repair went well your video was a great help. The motor was hard to disconnect from the blower and fan side.The shaft that you hold with the adjustable plier was hard plastic type of material and wanted to keep slipping and the edges wanted to round off and not hold in the adjustable pliers. I had to use a small pipe wrench with teeth to break it loose. The only other problem was the ground screw in the new motor had an odd type of head on it and took a special type of nutdriver attachment to loosen it and attach the ground wire to the new motor.

took off back. unhooked 2 wires and a screw. replaced and done . put on back.

The door switch was broken and I had the dryer model number. The part was oredered and it was an easy fix. But documents to instruct you to get the top removed for access to the switch are hard to come by...eventually i figured it out. Each Mfg. has a different way to get at the unit. A basic repair manual would help from the company but it's obvious they don't want the homeowner to do the easy fixes.

once I got dryer top wedged open it took about 5 minutes to unscrew and disconnect broken switch and then connect new switch and screw back into door slot! dryer turned on as soon as I closed door pressed start!!
