What a Amana Dryer Technician Deals With

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
- Burning or hot smell during a cycle
- Drum turns but the air stays cool
- Drum will not turn even though you hear a hum
