We received a service call in North Canton for an Admiral Eco smart washer that was setting off the grounded circuit during the rinse drain cycle. After replacing the drain pump and fuse, the washer continued to give trouble, leading us to suspect board damage.
The Problem
The customer reported that the washer was setting off the grounded circuit during the rinse drain cycle. This electrical issue was causing the circuit breaker to trip during a specific part of the wash cycle.
Diagnosis
We identified that the drain pump was likely causing the electrical fault that was tripping the grounded circuit. However, after completing the initial repair, the washer continued to give trouble, pointing to additional electrical damage.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: 479595-KIT PUMP AND FUSE
- Work performed: Replaced the drain pump and fuse
- Result: The washer continued to give trouble, indicating suspected board damage
Is It Worth Repairing?
Admiral washers are budget-friendly appliances, but when multiple electrical components fail (pump, fuse, and suspected control board), repair costs can approach the price of a replacement unit. For an Eco smart model experiencing cascading electrical failures, replacement may be the more economical choice.
Maintenance Tips for Admiral Washers
- Keep the washer level and stable to reduce strain on the drain pump motor
- Use only HE detergent in appropriate amounts to prevent excessive suds that can stress electrical components
- Clean the drain pump filter monthly if accessible to prevent clogs that force the pump to work harder
