ADE20L1W Admiral Dryer - Instructions

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.

just replaced the part. I was happy how simple it is to order the parts from PartSelect, and be able to get the right measurement needed.plus how fast it came.
Thank You and Keep up the good work. Ada APONTE

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 screw that holds the heating element in place and carefully slide the element out of the way. 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.

There was no reair needed. We just needed to replace the filter. The new filter arrived in a very short time and now we are drying clothes without losing lint through the dryer vent.
Ordering was easy with just the model and filter number which was listed on the dryer door. I was even given a diagram on the computer screen as to where to locate all the parts numbers needed.
This was a very satisfying order experience!

I threw out the cracked lint screen and put the new one in it's place. I don't know why I waited so long to order the replacement part.

noticed that male half was in good working order, so I just snapped in the new female half; without any tools. easy repair!

Replace with new latch.

This repair was so easy. All you need is a 1/4 inch nut driver or straight socket, a pair of needle nose pliers & a flat screwdriver,file or anything flat to pop the top of the dryer open. There are 4 wires to remove and 4 nuts. take the old parts out and replace with the new and replace the wires. Hardest part for me was making sure I didn't drop the nuts.I recommend watching the video. My dryer is working great.

Unplug the dryer. Take a large flat head screwdriver and pop the hood loose from the retaining brackets on the front of the dryer and raise.Next, unhook the wiring from the thermostat and heating element with needle nosed pliers located in the back left corner. Use a 5mm socket to remove the thermostat bracket and the heating element bracket.Remove faulty part and replace. Replace heating element and tighten.Replace thermostat on the retaining bracket and tighten. Plug your wires back in and close the hood.Plug Dryer back in.

I did a quick research online and found PartSelect to have the best price. I ordered my part on Monday 8/6 and to my tremendous surprise FedEx delivered it Tuesday 8/7!! I did not pay for overnight delivery. My son happened to come by that day and he took a small flathead screwdriver, pried the old one out and inserted the new part. Done in 5 minutes! PartSelect will be my supplier from now on.

i ordered a new filter and put in in the dryer to replace the broken one. everything worked out fine. and is working fine now.

Very easy

I watched a part select youtube video on possible fixes for the problem I was having. Ten minutes and two videos later I had the part out and identified as the problem. I ordered the part ($42.00) which arrived four days later. Spent ten minutes replacing it in machine, turned dryer on and went right back to performing the way it has for the last 12 years. Easiest thing I did all day. Saved me $400 bucks too. Thank you.

Took less than five minutes to fix a couple screws and take some wires off and pull it right out. Called local apliance store if they had part wanted more than partselect with next day shipping
