We serviced an Admiral dryer in Carrollton, OH that was leaving black marks on clothes and making loud squeaks. The bearing assembly had failed, causing the noisy operation and marking up the laundry.
The Problem
The customer reported their dryer leaves black marks on clothes, loud squeaks, and is noisy during operation.
Diagnosis
The bearing assembly had worn out, causing the drum to rub against internal components. This created the black residue transferring to clothes and generated the loud squeaking sounds during the drying cycle.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: WE49X20697 — dryer bearing assembly
- Work performed: Replaced the bearing assembly on the dryer, which includes the belt and felt seal
- Result: Dryer now operates quietly without marking clothes
Is It Worth Repairing?
Admiral dryers are basic but reliable units. A bearing assembly replacement on an older model like this one is typically worthwhile if the cabinet and other major components are in good condition. These units can run for many more years with proper maintenance after this type of repair.
Maintenance Tips for Admiral Dryers
- Clean the lint filter after every load to reduce strain on the bearing assembly
- Check the exhaust vent annually — restricted airflow forces the motor to work harder
- Don’t overload the drum, which puts extra stress on bearings and belts
