How Amana Dryers Are Built
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
Common Amana Dryer Problems
- Cycle ends too soon. Amana says the load may not be touching the sensor strips, so level the dryer and use Timed Dry or a different dryness level for very small loads. Source: Amana - Electronic Dryer Use and Care Guide
- 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
- Squealing, thumping or grinding while it runs
- Burning or hot smell during a cycle
- Clothes still damp after a full cycle
