Admiral Dryer Repair (Model FASE7073LW0) – Salem, OH

A homeowner in Salem called when their Admiral dryer model FASE7073LW0 was spinning but producing no heat. Our diagnostic revealed a failed heating element — a common failure point on this model after years of thermal cycling.

The Problem

The customer reported their dryer would run through complete cycles but clothes came out damp and cold. The drum was spinning normally and the unit wasn’t throwing any error codes, but zero heat was being generated. This symptom pattern typically points to either the heating element or the thermal fuse.

Diagnosis

Testing the heating element with a multimeter showed an open circuit — the coil had burned through and was no longer conducting electricity. The thermal fuse and door switch tested fine, but we found the door wasn’t sealing properly which can cause heat loss and stress the heating element over time. This likely contributed to the premature element failure.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 134792700 — heating element assembly
• Work performed: Installed new heating element and adjusted door alignment for proper seal
• Result: Dryer now heats properly and maintains consistent temperature throughout cycle

Is It Worth Repairing?

Admiral dryers from this era are solidly built and this model typically runs 12-15 years with proper maintenance. A heating element replacement extends the life significantly, making it a worthwhile repair for most homeowners. The door adjustment also prevents future premature element failures.

Maintenance Tips for Admiral Dryers

• Clean the lint screen after every load — Admiral’s screen design traps fine particles that can restrict airflow
• Check the door seal quarterly for cracks or warping that can cause heat loss and element stress
• Clean the exhaust vent annually — Admiral’s high-heat output requires good ventilation to prevent overheating
