A customer in North Canton called about their Admiral dryer that had power and showed all the normal settings and screens, but when you click start, it just clicks and doesn’t start. We found a broken drive belt that needed replacement.
The Problem
The dryer has power and shows all the normal settings and screens. However when you click start, it just clicks and doesn’t start.
Diagnosis
We checked the fuse first and removed the drum. The belt was broken, preventing the drum from turning when the motor attempted to start.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: WE03X29897 — belt drive
- Work performed: Replaced belt
- Result: Everything worked fine
Is It Worth Repairing?
Admiral dryers are built for durability and this model represents good value for repair. A broken drive belt is one of the most straightforward repairs, and once fixed, these units typically provide years of reliable service.
Maintenance Tips for Admiral Dryers
- Clean the lint filter after every load to prevent strain on the drive system
- Check the exhaust vent annually — restricted airflow can cause the motor to work harder
- Listen for unusual noises during operation, which can indicate belt or drum roller wear
