What Makes Amana Dryer Repairs Different

What Amana Says to Check First
- Dryer not heating. Amana says to check both 30-amp breakers and the 240-volt supply on electric models, or that the gas shutoff valve is open on gas models, and make sure an air-only cycle isn't selected. Source: Amana Product Help - Dryer is Not Heating
- Clothes take too long to dry. Amana points to a dirty lint screen, overloading, a No Heat setting, or a vent that is clogged, crushed, kinked, too long or has too many turns. Source: Amana - Electronic Dryer Use and Care Guide
When to Call for Amana Dryer Repair
- Cycles take two or three runs to finish
- Burning or hot smell during a cycle
- Clothes still damp after a full cycle
