Admiral Washer Repair – Akron, OH (LNC6740A71, SERIAL 39K286379, AED4675YQ1.)

We received a call from Laura in Akron about her son’s Admiral washer that had water coming in fine but would not cycle. The dryer wasn’t doing its thing either, so we headed out to National Avenue to diagnose both appliances.

The Problem

The customer reported that the washer had water coming in fine but does not cycle, and they had tried all the settings. The dryer also wasn’t doing its thing and wasn’t drying anything, so they suspected the heating element might be the issue.

Diagnosis

We found that the dryer was actually running and heating properly, but it had a plugged vent that was preventing proper airflow and drying performance. The washer issue traced back to a faulty timer that wasn’t advancing through the wash cycles.

The Repair

• Dryer work performed: Cleaned out the plugged vent
• Washer diagnosis: Timer needs replacement
• Result: Dryer restored to proper drying performance; washer timer replacement scheduled

Is It Worth Repairing?

Admiral washers from this era are generally worth repairing when the issue is a timer replacement. These units were built with solid mechanical components, and a timer repair can extend the appliance’s life significantly compared to replacement costs.

Maintenance Tips for Admiral Washers

• Check and clean the lint filter in your dryer monthly to prevent vent blockages
• Inspect dryer vent connections annually and clear any lint buildup
• Run an empty hot water cycle monthly to keep Admiral washer components clean
