Know Your Amana Dryer
What Makes Amana Dryer Repairs Different
The dryer needs a room temperature above 45°F to dry properly, and closet installs need adequate ventilation. 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
Amana Dryer Symptoms and First Checks
- 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
- Load too hot. Amana recommends letting the Cool Down portion finish and using a lower temperature or an automatic dry cycle. 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
