How Amana Dryers Are Built
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
Amana Dryer Symptoms and First Checks
- 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
- 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
Signs Your Amana Dryer Needs a Technician
- Clothes still damp after a full cycle
- Outside of the cabinet gets unusually hot
- Drum will not turn even though you hear a hum
