Common Amana Dryer Problems
- Dryer won't start. Amana says to press and hold Start for two to five seconds first, then check the fuses or breakers, the door latch, the cycle selection and whether the controls are locked. Source: Amana Product Help - Dryer Not Starting or No Operation
- 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
