Know Your Amana Dryer
How Amana Dryers Are Built

Common Amana Dryer Problems
- 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
- 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
When to Call for Amana Dryer Repair

What Foley Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Foley come down to the same handful of parts: the vent and lint path, the heat source, the belt and rollers, and the door and start switches.
Alabama does not issue a separate appliance repair license, and the state's heating, air conditioning and refrigeration contractor law expressly excludes work on household appliances, residential refrigerators and ice machines.

Gas fitting work in Alabama requires a state gas fitter license from the Alabama Plumbers and Gas Fitters Examining Board, which tests competency before anyone performs, supervises or contracts gas fitting. Source: About the Board - Alabama Plumbers and Gas Fitters Examining Board
