Frequently Asked Questions
•How do I test the high-limit thermostat?
The high-limit thermostat is tested for continuity like the cycling thermostat. Disconnect the wires and check for continuity with a multimeter. It should have continuity at room temperature. If it's open, replace it.
•What if the heating element has continuity but still doesn't heat?
Even with continuity, a heating element can be weak. Check the amperage draw of the heating element using an amp meter when the dryer is running. Compare the reading to the dryer's specifications (usually on the model plate). A significantly lower amperage indicates a weak element.
•Where can I find the wiring diagram for my Admiral dryer model?
Wiring diagrams are usually located inside the dryer, often attached to the back panel or inside the control panel. You can also search online using your dryer's model number. Websites like AppliancePartsPros or RepairClinic often have downloadable diagrams.
