Whirlpool Corporation manufactures Admiral dryers, which are sold exclusively through a well-known chain of hardware stores. All appliances manufactured by Whirlpool have a standard one-year warranty that covers all parts and labor during the first year of ownership. Troubleshoot the appliance before calling for service. Check for obvious solutions such as blown fuses, tripped breakers or an unplugged appliance before you begin. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
Dryer Does Not Run
1. Close the door firmly. The dryer will not operate if the door is not completely closed.
2. Press the "Start" button firmly or push the knob in to start the dryer.
3. Turn the dial past the "Off" position and away from "Wrinkle Prevent." The dryer will not start in the "Off" or "Wrinkle Prevent" position.
Long Drying Times
4. Remove the lint screen. Clean it and replace it.
5. Check the temperature of the room. The dryer will not operate properly in temperatures below 45 degrees Fahrenheit.
6. Inspect the area around the dryer. It requires at least 1-inch clearance on the front and sides of the dryer. A 5-inch clearance is needed on the back of the dryer. Move the dryer, if needed.
7. Separate large loads and do not use an air dry cycle.
Lint, Stains and Wrinkles
8. Clean the lint screen before drying each load of clothes to prevent lint buildup on clothing.
9. Add fabric softener sheets before starting a drying cycle. If the sheets are added after the load has partially dried, they can leave stains on the clothing.
10. Dry small loads and remove clothing as soon as the drying cycle completes to prevent wrinkling.
Dryer is Noisy
11. Check the inside of the dryer for loose change, buttons or other items. Empty the pockets on clothing before drying.
12. Separate items that are knotted together and restart the load. Knotted or balled up clothing will bounce and make the dryer vibrate.
13. Level the dryer. Turn the leveling legs on the front of the dryer clockwise or counter-clockwise until the dryer is level. Turning the legs clockwise will lower the dryer. Turning the legs counter-clockwise will raise the dryer.
