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
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
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
- 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 will not start when you press Start
