Know Your Amana Dryer
How Amana Dryers Are Built
Amana calls for a rigid 4-inch metal exhaust vent kept as short as possible with no more than four 90-degree elbows, and says plastic or foil vent should be replaced. Source: Amana - Electronic Dryer Use and Care Guide
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
What Amana Says to Check First
- Dryer won't start. Amana says to press and hold Start for two to five seconds first, then check the fuses or breakers, the door latch, the cycle selection and whether the controls are locked. Source: Amana Product Help - Dryer Not Starting or No Operation
- 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
Signs Your Amana Dryer Needs a Technician
- Dryer will not start when you press Start
- Squealing, thumping or grinding while it runs
- Dryer shuts off a few minutes into the cycle
