We responded to a service call on Campus Avenue SE in North Canton for an Admiral dryer that sounded god awful and sounded like the motor was spinning with the tumbler. Upon inspection, we found the blower wheel had broken off its shaft and was spinning loose.
The Problem
The customer reported their dryer sounded god awful and sounded like motor is spinning with the tumbler. This type of noise complaint typically indicates a mechanical failure in the blower assembly.
Diagnosis
The blower wheel had busted off of the shaft and was just spinning loose when the motor was spinning. This is easy to tell because when you shut the motor off the dryer motor quickly comes to a stop, but you can hear the blower slowly whine to a stop. It also sounds like a rumbling noise.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: 131775600 — Blower Assembly
- Work performed: Replaced the blower housing and blower assembly
- Result: Operation is normal
Is It Worth Repairing?
Admiral dryers are generally reliable workhorses, and a blower assembly replacement is a cost-effective repair that can extend the unit’s life significantly. This particular fix addresses a common wear point and should provide years of continued service.
Maintenance Tips for Admiral Dryers
- Clean the lint filter after every load to prevent restricted airflow that can stress the blower system
- Check and clean the exhaust vent annually to ensure proper air circulation
- Listen for unusual noises during operation — early detection can prevent more expensive repairs
