Know Your Amana Dryer
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
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
