Know Your Amana Dryer
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
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
Common Amana Dryer Problems
- 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
- Dryer not tumbling. Amana says to confirm the dryer has power, that Start was held for a few seconds with dry hands, and that the power cord is installed correctly. Source: Amana Product Help - Not Tumbling or Spinning - Dryer
Signs Your Amana Dryer Needs a Technician
- Cycles take two or three runs to finish
- Drum turns but the air stays cool
- Drum will not turn even though you hear a hum
What a Dryer Repair Technician Checks
Care Amana Recommends for Its Dryers

- Every six months, or sooner if lint falls off during use, wash the lint screen with hot water, liquid detergent and a nylon brush to remove residue. Source: Amana - Electronic Dryer Use and Care Guide

What New Britain Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in New Britain 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.
Connecticut's Department of Consumer Protection does not list a separate appliance repair license; work on gas piping, approved gas appliances and refrigeration systems falls under its heating, piping and cooling license categories.

In Connecticut, you can check a license with the CT Department of Consumer Protection: Verify a License or report a problem to the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection.
