Know Your Amana Dryer
What Makes Amana Dryer Repairs Different

Electric Amana dryers run on a 240-volt supply with two 30-amp breakers, one for the motor and one for the heating element, so a single tripped breaker can stop heating. Source: Amana Product Help - Dryer is Not Heating
What Amana Says to Check First

Signs Your Amana Dryer Needs a Technician
- Drum will not turn even though you hear a hum
