Amana NDE2335AY Electric Dryer - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Most likely you have to disassemble the dryer and vent and may be drum

Can you spin the drum by hand?

There is power there, it is just that the circuit board that is on the control panel is defetive.

A thermal fuse blows (opens) when the temperature is above the set value. When is blows it will have to be replaced before the circuit is operational again. A thermal switch deactivates the circuit until the preset temperature is reached or deactivates a circuit that is too hot.

Hello.

This link is a diagram of how the belt fits onto the motor/tensioner pulley...for your brand it is diagram A http://www.repairclinic.com/Dryer-Belt-Diagrams#DiagramA

Hi,

There can be many reasons why your dryer will not start or turn...

The most common causes are the belt breaking or jumping off, or the motor goingbad...

Here are a couple of tips that I wrote will help you to figure out why yourdryer will not run...

hello dischukker, you've got one or two problems; or both.
The first thing to do is check the nylon or plastic guides at the front of the clothes drum for support.
I'm posting a video right after this sentence that shows the glides on a diagram as well as ordering information and pricing. What I loved about this site is they actually have a video right below that shows you how to install them. What a deal, right? When these become worn, they can make a lot of noise. They look like big white breath strips, and they're super easy to remove and install. You will know by looking at them, if they're worn. trust me.

The next thing to check would be the thrust washer. And like the other one, you will see the part in the link, and a video of how to install it.

This should take care of your noisy dryer. I hope you found this information helpful. I will be happy to assist you further if you need any more help.
thanks,

Hi finer5...

ALWAYS UNPLUG YOUR DRYER BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO DO ANY WORK ON IT.
Sounds like your problem may be a broken belt, or the belt may have slipped off of the motor pulley, or idler arm pulley, or a faulty motor.
If you have to check/replace/repair your drum motor,drum seals,belt,rollers, etc.
If replacing drum seals be sure to use a good grade of weather proof cement to hold the seal/s in place, some seals are furnished with the cement to glue it in place.
Note: This method works for most front loading machines.
Remove the electrical console that holds the timer switch,start switch, etc. from the top of the dryer if necessary. Be real careful not to knock any of the wires off of the timer switch or other electrical connections.
Remove the lint filter and the two screws that hold the filter housing to the top of the dryer lid.
Then remove the top of the dryer by inserting a screwdriver between the top and frame on each side of the dryer to pop the lid up from the retaining clips.
Note: Some of the tops tilt backwards on a type of hinge and do not have to be removed completly.
Remove the front of the machine by disconnecting the door switch and removing the two screws located on either side of the dryer frame.
Move the door and front of machine forward to remove.
This will expose the belt,idler bracket and drum, remove the drum and belt and this will expose the drum rollers, idler arm bracket with pulley, and motor with pulley. Pay attention to the route of the belt, this will come in handy when you go to reinstall the belt and drum.
Sometimes the belt will slip off of the idler arm or motor causing the drum not to turn.
Note:The way the belt goes back on is, as the belt comes off the drum has to be doubled (pushed together to form a loop) and goes under the idler pulley then to the motor pulley.

While you have the drum out, I would recommend that you lubricate the drum rollers at the shaft of the roller with a good grade of machine oil like 3 in One oil or a vasoline type of lubricant. This will save you a problem later with the rollers getting noisy, also check your drum rollers for flat spots, if they have flat spots on them this will cause a thumping type noise. You will need to replace the drum rollers if they have flat spots on them.

Hi franklin bai

Yes the element is faulty...replace it...but also check some other things...see below

ALWAYS UNPLUG YOUR DRYER BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO DO ANY WORK ON IT.
Check to make sure you are getting full 220 Volt power to the dryer, if you are then:
Check your Wiring
Often the main wiring connection from the house, at the dryer, burns and the connection breaks.
If this has happened to your dryer, you need to replace the power cord and the terminal block inside the dryer to which the
wire is attached.
Check the Door Switch
If the door switch or the door-switch actuator is defective, the dryer won't work and you need to replace the failed
component. The switch is inside the dryer main housing near the door frame.
Sometimes you need to raise or open the top or front of the dryer to reach the switch.
Check for continuity you should have none with door open, and should have a reading when closed.
If not replace the door switch.
Check to make sure you heating problem is not a lint build up in the discharge hose or the dryer,as this condition can cause
heater/thermistor problems such as overheating of the heating coil leading to failure of the coil and burnout of the
thermostat/thermistor due to overheat.
Remove the back/or front just under the door of the machine and try to locate the air duct going from the blower to the drum. Normally inside/outside the air duct you will find the heating coil and the thermostats/thermistors. Once you have located the heating coil, remove the two wires from it and check the coil with an ohm meter across the two terminals of the coil.
You should read continuity across the terminals, if not you will need to replace the coil as it is faulty.
If the heating coil is ok, then:
You can check the thermostat/thermistor one at a time by removing the two wires and taping them together with electrical tape
or with an ohm meter to test the thermostat/thermistor. (Should have/show continuity)
If the coil heats up then replace the thermostat/thermistor.
(Thermal fuse.If it overheats the dryer will not operate. It's located on the blower housing. It cannot be reset. A vent clogged
with lint can cause it to overheat. You can test it with an Ohm meter or continuity checker, if no continuity, replace it)
DO NOT LEAVE THE WIRES TAPED TOGETHER AFTER THE TEST.
This could cause a FIRE, as you have removed the safety of overheat from the machine.
Right after replacing a dryer element, always run the dryer on 'air fluff' / 'no heat', and go outside to verify there's
plenty of air coming out your vent system.
If the vent's clogged, that new element can burn out very quickly.

most cities require an electrician to do those changes. there is some changes needed at the dryer too to convert from 4 to 3 wires. because of code regulation I will not attempt to explain it. we may be responsible or liable if anything goes wrong. sorry. wish you luck.

the most likely cause maybe a thermal fuse blown. you need to flip the top of the dryer open and look on the rear at the center. if you see the heating element on the right side of the outside casing of the element below the wires you will see a tiny thermostat look alike posibly with 2 white wires to it, that's the non resetable thermostat. you will need to replaced which comes in a kit. that should do it. after that YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE DRYER VENT IS CLEAR OF OBSTURCTIONS IF NOT YOU WILL BLOW THE FUSE AGAIN!!!. good luck to you.

Hi,
When it is calling for heat you should be getting 240 volts ACROSS the two ends of the heating element...

I am not sure if you have a solution yet. I see the post is 21 days old. The answer is that this dryer has a 7.1 Cu Ft capacity. That is 21 to 22 lbs of clothes.

Hi and welcome to FixYa, I am Kelly.
The dryer not starting can be caused by the following:
1. The door switch. Item 20 this link:
http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/model.aspx?model_id=5174285&diagram_id=28599341#d28599341
(As you just open or just close the door; listen for an audible micro-switch click. No click = bad door switch)

2. An open thermal fuse that is item 6 this link:
http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/model.aspx?model_id=5174285

3. The push to start function of the timer (Item 9 below link) has failed:
http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/model.aspx?model_id=5174285&diagram_id=28599342#d28599342

4. Broken or defective wiring. See wiring diagrm link below:
http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/model.aspx?model_id=5174285&diagram_id=28599345#d28599345

The most common failures are 1 and 2 of the above list.

Thanks for choosing FixYa,
Kelly

Hi,

If you are having problems with your gas dryer not heating the most common problem is that the ignitor goes bad. Even though it glows sometimes it is still not working properly.

if you dryer is gas check out this gas no heat tip....

If you have an electric dryer, you can have many different things that can go wrong causing the dryer not to heat.

check out this electric no heat tip...
