Amana Dryer HE2003 Won't start or doesn't start

The Door Switch Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This kit includes a door switch that plays a crucial safety and operational role in the dryer's function. It ensures that the dryer operates only when the door is firmly closed, preventing the machine from running with an open door, which could pose safety risks and inefficiency in the drying process.

The causes of door switch failure often include physical damage from slamming the dryer door, wear and tear over time, or electrical issues such as short circuits. 

Symptoms of a faulty Dryer Door Switch include:

• The dryer not starting when the door is closed 
• The dryer continuing to run when the door is opened, which poses a significant safety hazard.
• Unusual noises from the switch area 

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

The Door Catch Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It includes the door catch and the necessary mounting hardware to secure it in place. This kit ensures the dryer door remains securely closed during operation, preventing heat loss and ensuring the appliance functions efficiently.

Causes of a bad door catch include regular wear and tear, physical damage, or misalignment of the door, which can impact the catch's ability to latch properly.

Symptoms of a bad door catch include:

• The dryer door not staying closed
• Difficulty latching the door shut
• The dryer stopping mid-cycle due to the door opening

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Belt is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers that is responsible for connecting the motor to the drum to allow it to tumble. Over time, dryer belts can stretch, wear out, or even break, leading to a drum that won't turn and clothes that don't dry properly. Length: 93 3/8" Width: 3/8" has 5 ridges.

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Belt include:

• The dryer motor running but the drum not turning.
• A squealing or thumping noise coming from the dryer.
• The dryer not starting at all.

Causes of failure can include regular wear and tear from the dryer's operation, overloading the dryer beyond its capacity, which puts extra strain on the belt, or a misalignment that causes uneven wear. 

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Belt Tension Pulley is an OEM part for Whirlpool clothes dryers. It utilizes a tension mechanism to maintain precise alignment and contact between the drive belts and motor pulleys during operation.

Symptoms of a failed belt tension pulley include:

• Extended dry times or inability to dry clothes fully
• Abnormal noise or vibration coming from inside the dryer
• Premature belt wear requiring frequent replacement
• Error codes appearing or inability to start cycles

Causes of a bad pulley can include cracks, defects, or stiffness in the tension mechanism limiting its range of motion from years of operation. Lubricant breakdown within the pulley can also produce excessive friction or noise over time.

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
