A commercial laundry facility on North Chapel Street in Louisville called us for multiple issues with their Admiral washers and dryers. The coin acceptor was pushed back on the new top loader, one dryer wouldn’t start, and another had a stuck lint filter drawer that couldn’t be opened.
The Problem
The facility reported several malfunctions across their commercial laundry equipment. The new top loader had a coin acceptor that was pushed back and needed securing. The Wasco 31 dryer wouldn’t start, and another dryer’s lint filter drawer was completely stuck and couldn’t be opened.
Diagnosis
On the new top loader, the coin acceptor was missing a nut on one side, causing it to be pushed back and unsecured. For the Wasco 31 that wouldn’t start, the coin slide wasn’t engaging with the lever to start the machine and needed a spring on the coin acceptor. The dryer with the stuck lint filter had a failed lock assembly preventing the drawer from sliding in and out. The dryers also needed a good clean out in the back.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: New door and timer on washing machine, new thermostat on dryer, new lock assembly for lint filter drawer
- Work performed: Secured coin acceptor with missing nut, installed spring on coin acceptor for Wasco 31, removed failed lock assembly temporarily, cleaned out dryers in the back
- Result: All machines restored to working order with coin mechanisms functioning and lint filter accessible
Is It Worth Repairing?
Commercial Admiral laundry equipment is built for heavy-duty use and typically has a long service life when properly maintained. These machines are designed for constant operation, so keeping them running with proper repairs maintains the business income stream and is almost always more cost-effective than replacement.
Maintenance Tips for Admiral Commercial Washers and Dryers
- Regularly inspect coin mechanisms for proper alignment and secure mounting to prevent jamming
- Clean lint filter areas frequently in commercial dryers to prevent lock mechanisms from binding
- Schedule periodic deep cleaning of dryer exhaust systems to maintain airflow and prevent overheating
