Know Your Amana Dryer
How Amana Dryers Are Built
Front load matching models are stackable and use electronic touch controls, while top load matching models use dial controls. Source: Amana - Dryer Comparison Chart
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
What Amana Says to Check First
- 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
- Clothes take too long to dry. Amana points to a dirty lint screen, overloading, a No Heat setting, or a vent that is clogged, crushed, kinked, too long or has too many turns. Source: Amana - Electronic Dryer Use and Care Guide
When to Call for Amana Dryer Repair
- Dryer will not start when you press Start
