What a Amana Dryer Technician Deals With
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
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
- 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
- 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
Amana Dryer Problems Worth a Service Call
- Drum will not turn even though you hear a hum
- Clothes still damp after a full cycle
