How Amana Dryers Are Built

Amana Dryer Symptoms and First Checks
- 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
