Admiral Dryer light is out
If your Admiral dryer interior light is out, start with the quick checks: a failed light socket or burned-out bulb is the top culprit, so swap the bulb or use a multimeter to see if voltage is reaching the socket. If the socket has power but no light, the socket will need replacement. Next most likely are control issues: the indicator lights are part of the control panel, touchpad or user control and display board, and those assemblies must be replaced when their lights stop working, so this is a common reason people see dryer controls not working or dryer lights flashing. Less commonly, a faulty door switch can prevent power from reaching the light, and a damaged light assembly itself can be the cause. You can test the door switch for continuity with a meter before buying parts. Enter your model number at RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement light socket, control panel, touchpad, door switch, or light assembly that fits your dryer.
01 - Admiral Dryer Light Socket
If the light itself is newly installed or shows no signs of damage, yet still won't work, it's possible the light socket is defective. You can use a multimeter to test whether or not voltage is reaching the light socket. If the meter shows that power is reaching the light socket then it's likely the socket is malfunctioning and will need to be replaced.

05 - Admiral Dryer Door Switch
The dryer door switch will turn the interior light off when the door is closed and turn it back on when the door is opened. If the switch is defective, it may be unable to allow voltage to reach the light. You can use a multimeter to test the door switch for appropriate electrical continuity when actuated. If the switch doesn't provide appropriate continuity, it will need to be replaced.
Less Common
06 - Admiral Dryer Light Assembly
The most likely cause of a dryer interior light not working is a defective light assembly. Inspect the assembly for any visible damage or burn marks and replace as required.
