Hello randall. Make sure nothing is in the blower wheel and make sure nothing is in a bind. If all is good, then replace the motor.

Rw for Model Number ADMIRAL ADE7000AYW DRYER

My dryer quit working. Prior to it's stop, the inside space between the front panel and the collector was full of lint, to where the lint trap would not seat properly. I took apart and cleaned out. Right after that dryer ran, but then suddenly stopped. No power at all, door light off. I found your forum, and found it it could be the door switch, one of the fuses or thermostats. I am beginning my testing, starting with the door switch, which is out of the dryer. I have a rubber band holding down the button. Connection between COM and NC shows 1 on the Ohm meter, but connection between COM and NO leads fluctuates between 21-25. Is this normal?

RW, First check and make sure you have 220/240 VAC at the terminal block on the back of the dryer. Then check the door switch and wiring WP53-0148 and make sure the switch "clicks" when you press and release the plunger. Good Luck and Thanks

730, Hope this helps you out, based on the diagram for your dryer The white wire from the thermal fuseon the heater will attach to the "C" marked terminal on the door switch. The other white wire, which goes to the motor and heater, should be attached to the "N O" terminal for the door switch. Thanks and Good Luck

Hello Dennis. Disconnect the power to the unit. Release the clips under the top panel with a flat blade putty knife or butter knife and raise the top of the dryer. The door switch LA-1005 is attached to the inside of the front panel with a clip. The switch can be removed by spreading the arms of the clip and removeing the switch. Reinstall in reverse order. Hope this helps.

Hello. Yes, this is the correct switch. You will need to hook this switch up the way your old one is hooked up. Hope this helps.
