Know Your Amana Dryer
How Amana Dryers Are Built
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
What Amana Says to Check First
- Dryer making noise. Amana says a thump after sitting unused usually fades, then to check the drum edges for coins or buttons and make sure all four legs are installed and the dryer is level. 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
When to Call for Amana Dryer Repair
