Frequently Asked Questions
•Where is the high-limit thermostat located in my Admiral dryer?
The high-limit thermostat is typically located on the blower housing, near the dryer's blower fan. It's a small, round or rectangular component with two wires connected to it.
•How do I check the continuity of a thermostat with a multimeter?
Set your multimeter to the continuity setting (usually indicated by a diode symbol or audible beep). Place one probe on each terminal of the thermostat. If the multimeter reads a value close to zero ohms or beeps, the thermostat has continuity and is good. If the multimeter displays OL or infinity, the thermostat is open and needs to be replaced.
•What could cause the high-limit thermostat to repeatedly fail?
Repeated failure of the high-limit thermostat usually indicates a restricted dryer vent. This causes the dryer to overheat, tripping the thermostat. Ensure the vent is clean and free of obstructions.
