Amana Dryer Lines and Features
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
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
