How to Get the Outer Casing off an Admiral Dryer

Admiral automatic dryers are manufactured by the Maytag company. They come in both gas and electric models. Each model has a distinct set of features and dry cycles. When repairs need to be made or parts need replacement, you usually have to remove the outer. Once the outer cabinet panels have been taken off of the Admiral dryer, parts such as the motor, drum, pulleys, belt and others can be inspected or repaired as needed.
