Amana Dryer Lines and Features
How Amana Dryers Are Built
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
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
Common Amana Dryer Problems
- 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
- 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
Amana Dryer Problems Worth a Service Call
- Drum will not turn even though you hear a hum
- Burning or hot smell during a cycle
- Cycles take two or three runs to finish
