Maurya S Shelton , WA January 02, 2016 No heat in our amana dryer We got the heater core kit. Unplug, undo two screws and pulled old one out. Looking at the old one, put the new one together and then mounted it back in place. Turned on dryer but no heat so unplugged it, tapped on elements, plugged back in and it worked. Not to hard.

Douglas F Spotsylvania , VA November 05, 2016 Appliance: Model AMANA Had an old amana dryer that stopped heating Ordered heating element from APP. The web site told me that the most likely problem was the thermal fuse so I ordered that as well. Part arrived the next day. Took a few mins to figure out how to get to the in nerds of the dryer but using two sizes of nut drivers the job was done in about 30 mins. Parts were the correct ones and worked.

Roger S Laporte , IN March 31, 2014 Appliance: Model AMANA LE4317WE Amana electric dryer - no heat (10 yrs old) First indicator was auto dry cycle running too long. It shuts off by sensing dryness and with no heat it takes forever Opened up front and lifted out drum. Heater unit visible in bottom rear left. Pulled off black and orange long wire leads coming from ft left. Unscrewed 2 sheet metal screws on each side of unit - unit lifts out. About to check continuity with meter when visually spotted a break in the coil. Took the time to inspect the entire inside. Decided to grease 2 drum roller shafts at back and grease the belt tension roller shaft - lightly. Also saw that the drum belt was dry, stiff, and extremely cracked - be sure to replace it while you are inside. And, by the way, undo belt from tension roller first when taking drum out and hook it up last when putting drum back in. Conned my wife into vacuuming entire inside so I wouldn't drag lint upstairs. Worked great! Two days later parts arrived,fit,very quickly installed, and worked. It was tutti all the way - we are musicians Read More...
