I have the heavy duty 4 cycle Amana dryer. When I turn it on it is very loud and stops after about 20 minutes. It smells really hot so maybe it's overheating? But why?

Open the cabinet and look for lint buildup around the motor. Lint will act like a blanket and hold to heat in on the motor which in turn will cause it to shut down by way of it's safety mechanism. Check that out and post back your findings.

m ost likely one of the rear drum support rollers is bad. the part number is 37001042.

Try running an empty heavy duty wash cycle with a pint of vinegar added to the water, run wash cycle for two or three minutes then turn the machine off for thirty minutes then restart and let finish the full wash cycle

The vent box inside the dryer still has lint in it. You need to reach way inside to get at it. Turn power off.

WARNING: High Voltage may bzzt you... careful.

Your dryer thinks that it is at the end of a dry cycle.

First thing to do is disconect the dryer from the 220v mains and let it sit for about 10 min.

then, spin the timer four or five times around and then stop it at a TIMED dry cycle, not an automatic cycle. (example: 60 minutes).

Plug unit back into the wall.

SLAM door on unit and press button again...

timer needs to be replaced

Belt idler pulley sounds dry, oil all rollers and belt pulley.Please leave a Rating! Thanx!

It sounds like the motor is tripping out on the thermal protector.

I would start by taking the dryer apart and cleaning all of the lint out, Make sure to clean the venting.

while you have it apart look at the seals and see how worn they are.

How old is the dryer? How long is the venting? is the weather hood outside blocked?

Let me know if you have any more questions.
