Know Your Amana Dryer
What a Amana Dryer Technician Deals With
Electric Amana dryers run on a 240-volt supply with two 30-amp breakers, one for the motor and one for the heating element, so a single tripped breaker can stop heating. Source: Amana Product Help - Dryer is Not Heating
Automatic cycles rely on the load contacting the sensor strips in the drum, so an unlevel dryer or very small load can end the cycle early. Source: Amana - Electronic Dryer Use and Care Guide
Common Amana Dryer Problems
- 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
- Load too hot. Amana recommends letting the Cool Down portion finish and using a lower temperature or an automatic dry cycle. Source: Amana - Electronic Dryer Use and Care Guide
Amana Dryer Problems Worth a Service Call
- Dryer will not start when you press Start
- Burning or hot smell during a cycle
- Clothes still damp after a full cycle
