ADE20L1A Admiral Dryer - Instructions

It took longer to gather the tools vs changing the part. I was unsure how to start. Once I got started it was very easy it took 5 minutes.

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 ele ... Read more ctrical work.

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.

Daughter and I lifted top of dryer, carefully removed old element and thermostat, watching as we went how the old ones came out, and replaced with new one! Dryer working just fine!

Opened up the top of the dryer. Had to use the internet to find the broken part since the last time I replaced a heating element it was at the bottom. This one was at the top behind the drum. Disconnected three screws holding the old element in place and the wiring. Pulled the old element and put the new one in replacing the wiring an ... Read more d the screws.

Contrary to instructions that I found on the web, the element is not accessed through the back. Pop the top of the dryer up and the element is visible in the top of the back . Pretty easy job.

I had to replace the whole motor, Idler spring and idler Pulley Wheel. It went well but I wish I could have replaced just the berring and not the whole motor.

After I unplugged the unit, I used a flat screwdriver to pop the top open at the front, then tipped it back on the hinge. I then used a multi-meter to test resistance through any switch or safety device I could find. The thermal fuse was the hardest one to get to and was the only one that showed open, having no resistance. I had to remove ...

The fuse is held in place by a metal strip or retainer and it has to be lifted up and right as you remove it. Unplug the wires from the old fuse and put in the new one. Then reverse the order of dis-assembly, plug it in and away you go, as long as that is the only issue, which mine was.

watched available video on site removed 4 screws all at top of washer. had to replace heater element, thermostat and thermal fuse. very easy.

Disassembled the dryer- pretty simple process, replaced the heating element and high limit switch (which was included with the heating element), put it back together.

Unplugged dryer from electrical outlet, lifted up top of dryer, removed overheating sensor and dryer element with 1/4"socket being very careful not to drop screws into dryer, replaced dryer element and heat sensor, closed top lid of dryer, plugged back into outlet and tested for proper operation.

After lifting up hood, my husband removed old part and installed new part 1, 2, 3. Took about 20 mins.
