Amana Dryer Lines and Features
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
Common Amana Dryer Problems
- 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
When to Call for Amana Dryer Repair
- Burning or hot smell during a cycle
- Squealing, thumping or grinding while it runs
- Clothes still damp after a full cycle
What a Dryer Repair Technician Checks

- Every six months, or sooner if lint falls off during use, wash the lint screen with hot water, liquid detergent and a nylon brush to remove residue. Source: Amana - Electronic Dryer Use and Care Guide
