What Makes Amana Dryer Repairs Different
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
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
- Clothes take too long to dry. Amana points to a dirty lint screen, overloading, a No Heat setting, or a vent that is clogged, crushed, kinked, too long or has too many turns. Source: Amana - Electronic Dryer Use and Care Guide
- 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
Amana Dryer Problems Worth a Service Call
- Outside of the cabinet gets unusually hot
- Burning or hot smell during a cycle
- Clothes still damp after a full cycle
