Admiral Dryer Repair (Model FASE7073LW0) – Salem, OH

A homeowner in Salem, OH called about their Admiral dryer that was spinning but producing no heat. When we opened up the FASE7073LW0, we found a burned-out heating element — a common failure point on these older Admiral models.

The Problem

The customer reported their dryer was running through full cycles but clothes came out completely cold and damp. The drum was spinning normally and the lint filter was clean, but there was no warm air circulating inside the cabinet.

Diagnosis

Testing revealed the heating element had failed — the coils showed infinite resistance instead of the normal 8-12 ohms. The element housing also showed signs of overheating. We also found the door switch needed adjustment to ensure proper latching during the heat cycle.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 134792700 — heating element assembly
• Work performed: Installed new heating element, adjusted door switch alignment, tested all safety circuits
• Result: Dryer now produces proper heat throughout the cycle, door latches securely

Is It Worth Repairing?

Admiral FASE7073LW0 dryers from this era are built solid with heavy-duty components. If the cabinet and drum are in good shape, replacing a heating element typically gives you several more years of reliable service. These models are worth repairing unless you’re seeing multiple major component failures.

Maintenance Tips for Admiral Dryers

• Check the rear exhaust vent monthly — Admiral dryers are sensitive to restricted airflow which can overheat the element
• Clean the lint filter after every load, and vacuum out the filter housing quarterly to prevent element overheating
• On FASE7073LW0 models, listen for unusual door latch sounds — worn door switches can cause heating issues
