Admiral Electric Won't Start - replaced parts... read

Dryer Repair

Hello everyone… new here.

I have an Admiral ADE7005AYW Electric Dryer

The dryer was working fine, went to start another load, pushed start button… nothing… :frowning:

I did some google searching and found many people’s problems with this dryer was the thermal fuse, or thermostat.

I had both parts overnighted

I just replaced the Thermal Fuse and Thermostat about an hour ago

Plugged my dryer back in, pushed the start button and nothing… no relay clicks, no sounds… and most annoying of all… no dry clothes :frowning:

I also noticed the light inside the door is now out, whereas before it was working…

Did I blow out some other fuse inside my dryer? Anyone know what to check next?

The 220 line is fine, circuit breakers are not popped.

Please help… I thought my Laundromat days were over

last night I popped out the door switch…

there were three wires on it, red connector, no connector and a blue connector…

I ran a jumper wire between the red connector one and the one with no connector… I pushed START and the light lights up until I release the start button.

So i jumped the red connector and blue connector wires, thinking theoretically, the dryer would think the door was closed.

I press start and nothing…

should my dryer have started?

I took apart the door switch and it does look burned out, so I will replace that… but how many more parts should I replace before giving up?

From what you are said you checked the door switch wold be the last thing. Tom http://www.applianceeducator.com

You may have jumperd the wrong two wires.
You would need to jumper the white wire to the
yellow one. If it dosent start then you need to do
some further electrical testing on the dryer.
You will need to know how to use a multimeter
in order to do that.

I say connector, but what I really meant was that the clip dealie on the end of the wire had a plastic "surround" on it to keep it from shorting against the other wires.

One of the surrounds was red plastic (the wire was yellow, had power when START is pressed)

The one that i said had no connector had no "surround" (grey wire, went to light bulb for inside the dryer)

and the Blue "surround" one was on the white wire (which was what i jumped to the Yellow wire to trick the dryer into thinking the door was "closed")

Very possible the problem is with the power source.

I am having problems when my freezer defrosts, water freezes up in the back of the control box, so it drips inside my refrigerator.
