Common Amana Dryer Problems
- 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
- Dryer making noise. Amana says a thump after sitting unused usually fades, then to check the drum edges for coins or buttons and make sure all four legs are installed and the dryer is level. Source: Amana - Electronic Dryer Use and Care Guide
Signs Your Amana Dryer Needs a Technician
- Cycles take two or three runs to finish
- Outside of the cabinet gets unusually hot
