I have an Amana DM70e-e and I can never set the numbers right to get it to heat up and begin to rid the room of moisture I do not have the manual

switch thermostat to emergency heat. Call for service the unit should be under warranty. Be aware that using heating strips will cause your electric to go extremely high.

ELECTRIC Dryer no heat or little heat, or shuts down to fast:

Check your venting and lint basket. Check blower for lint build up and blower wheel obstruction., test by trying to turn the wheel manually by hand (should be easy) May have to remove cabinet or front/back plate to get to it)

Next check the heating element itself with a meter for continuity OHMS CLOSED CIRCUIT. If not its defective or has a short if its grounding out? Which in turns causes blown fuses or thermostats or overheating.

Check dryer Terminal block prongs both outside prongs should give combined 220, and 110 each if u check 1 outside & 1 center (ground) prong. Also check house electrical outlet for full voltage. 220 because if u only get half or 110 volts you will be able to run the machine which uses only 110 to run motor but not the heater which uses a full 220,

Check the thermal cut off, the cycling and the hi limit thermostats.
For continuity or OHMS. If no ohms or resistance they need replacement.

In some dryer's the control panel relies on a thermistor rather than a CYCLING thermostat to regulate the drum's air temperature by monitoring the component's resistance changes; resistance goes down as temperature increases and up when temperature decreases. Once the drum's air temperature reaches a certain level required to dry clothes, the control panel shuts off the heater. The panel will turn the heater on again and begin another heating cycle when the thermistor indicates that more heat is needed to keep the air temperature constant inside the drum

Lastly check your moister sensor. ( located inside the dryer door usually) Especially if machine seems to shut down early and clothes are still wet.
Test with a meter at room temperature and it should show continuity.
A failed moisture sensor will affect the dryer run time in the automatic moisture sensing cycle but it will not affect the heating of the dryer or the timed cycle. Which are reflected by the thermostats.

If you want to remove a lot of moisture/humidity, set extraction level on 35%. That's the arrow down button. If you want to remove less moisture/humidity raise the extraction percentage level.That's the arrow up button.

Hope this helped you. Please let me know. Thanks.

change thermostat.

The 2H/1C is one stage cooling two heating. Is it s touch screen or not. I mean no buttons. If not go to mode setting. Push mode till you get to heat not emerency heat abd then set temp. Keep in touch. Rus

This is the link to find the manual for your unit. Make sure the model number is correct. You should be able to find the info you are looking for if it is possible to disable the energy saver. Hopefully this will help.

This often happens if the unit is oversized or to close to a wall or object.
