Amana Dryer model # LEA60AW. Dryer runs but no heat.

Amana Dryer model # LEA60AW. This dryer was gently used then given to me. I just started it up this morning and after a minute I checked and could feel the heat. Sometime through the drying cycle the heat stopped and it's just cold air. Filter is clean, vent is clear. Any suggestions?

Amana dryer lea60aw.when dryer is plugged in and door open, timer is ticking and recently replaced heating element is giving off heat-does the timer need to be replaced? or is it a thermoststat/ etc.?

It should not be on sounds to me like the cent switch inthe motor needs replacement. Common on amana dryer motors, not too hard to fix. See if it slides easy by hand and oil it cleaning out any lint that may have accumulated in the swtich. The job of the switch is to power on the heating element ONLY when the motor gets up to speed and centrifugal force slides out wrights on the switch allowing for power to go to the heater element . Switch stuck most likely, let me know.

My dryer is overheating. Clothes are so hot you can't handle them. Amana electric model LEA60AW

You control thermostat is not working. Replace it. It mounts on the blower housing. After making sure the blower is not loose replace the stat. It is the only thing that controls the temp. The limits shut down the element if the control stat fails to do so. Them clothes is getting too hot because the 250f limit on the element is shutting down the element. The fuse is not blowing because it is rated for 350f. Therefore with the control stat inoperable the clothes is getting too hot.

Amana electric dryer will not heat/ LEA60AW Everything works fine but no heat...have cleaned all lint from inside the dryer by taking front panel off. What else should I check.... I noticed it wouild come...

Check for 220 Volt at the heater entrance to the heater box (accessible from picking up the top on most models). If you have 220v there the heater element is out. If you don't have 220v on the terminals of the heater the problem is in the controls. The fuse link, the timer contacts, the centrifugal switch on the motor, and the heater safety thermostat and operating (s), are all suspect and have to be eliminated 1 by 1. Hope this helps. With any luck all you need is a new element. Clean the duct out while replacing the heater if so because the main thing that causes heater element burn out is low air flow a kinked Dryer vent hose, lint, and plugged up fan on the motor are the 3 main causes of low air flow. If yours has little holes in the inside cabinet these can get clogged with lint also and cause a problem. Hope this helps and please rate me accordingly Thank you and good luck.

Amana LEA60AW dryer problem??

Check the door switch to see if it is engaging. This will shut down the motor. I usually do this with a plastic ink pen to see if I hear a clicking.
