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
Amana Dryer Symptoms and First Checks
- 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
- 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
When to Call for Amana Dryer Repair
- Burning or hot smell during a cycle
- Squealing, thumping or grinding while it runs
- Drum turns but the air stays cool

What Waco Owners Should Know

Texas has no separate appliance repair license; under the Plumbing License Law, appliance dealers and their employees may install and service appliances (other than water heaters) without a plumbing license when hooking up to existing openings with a code-approved appliance connector, while other gas or water piping work generally requires a plumbing license.
