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

Common Amana Dryer Problems
- 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

What Boston Owners Should Know
Gas dryers in Boston are typically served by National Grid (Boston Gas Company). If you ever smell gas near the dryer, leave the house and call the gas utility from outside before calling a repair company. Source: National Grid Gas Cities and Towns list (Mass.gov)
Massachusetts does not issue a separate appliance repair license; running fuel gas piping to appliances and installing their vent piping is gas fitting work that requires a license from the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters.

In Massachusetts, you can check a license with the Massachusetts Division of Occupational Licensure eLIPSE license verification portal or report a problem to the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, Consumer Advocacy and Response Division.
