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
The dryer needs a room temperature above 45°F to dry properly, and closet installs need adequate ventilation. Source: Amana - Electronic Dryer Use and Care Guide
Amana Dryer Symptoms and First Checks
- Dryer not heating. Amana says to check both 30-amp breakers and the 240-volt supply on electric models, or that the gas shutoff valve is open on gas models, and make sure an air-only cycle isn't selected. Source: Amana Product Help - Dryer is Not Heating
- 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
Amana Dryer Problems Worth a Service Call
- Dryer shuts off a few minutes into the cycle
- Squealing, thumping or grinding while it runs
- Outside of the cabinet gets unusually hot
