Amana Dryers - Answered Questions & Fixed Issues
Amana ned5100tq0 drys when set to timed dry but
Mines the exact opposite. Slowly it started stopping while the timer kept going for times dry. Now it won't run at all on times dry but the timer still moves. It also won't run for air dry.
How do i change the heating element.
The heating element is accessible through the lower front access panel. Disconnect power to the dryer prior to servicing to avoid the risk of electric shock.
Remove the two screws attaching the bottom of the lower front access panel to the cabinet then slide the panel down then off the cabinet. The heating element can now be accessed and repalced.
Remove the screws securing the heating element to the heater box then pull down the heating element to remove it from the heater box.
Disconnect and label the wires for the heating element and the components. Remove the components from the old heating element then transfer it to the new heating element.
Slide the new heating element up into the heater box and secure it in place. Align the slots on the top of the lower front access panel with the locating tabs on the front access panel then slide it into position and secure the bottom of the lower front access panel to the cabinet.
Amana dryer runs for 5 seconds. chimes with TS error code. I replaced thermistor and cleared code. still same issues. Help.
Check your lint screen and vent for restrictions or clogs. Then check the resistance for the thermistor at the control board. You need to confirm that the wiring and replacement thermistor are undamaged. Look for the white connector and test across pin 2 (blue) and pin 6 (red). If the resistance is in range, then the control board is faulty. Replace the control board.
I hope this helps. Since you already replaced the thermistor, I assume you know where to find the parts list for your Amana dryer.

Amana gas dryer lg8319w2 blows circuit breaker when turned on, has worked fine for 25 plus years, just happened recently.
The issue could be several thing,s but a couple of thoughts given the age of the dryer and home.
From a dryer standpoint sometimes the dryer drive motor fails by shorting out internally. The electrical short will cause the breaker the blow. If you are handy with a digital multimeter check for continuity across the motor.
From a home standpoint, the circuit breaker over time can wear out and trip early below the rated amperage. Since it is a gas dryer that is probably not the issue but check the wall outlet the dryer is plugged in to by testing another appliance with similar amperage draw.
Good luck with your troubleshooting!

Is there a pioletlight that neeeds to be lit o my amana w10562495a. I can't see a flame when I pop open the small side panel.
The manual for the W10562495A has a copyright date of July 2013. Since this is a fairly new dryer, I believe it has an on-demand igniter instead of a standing pilot light. Most gas dryers stopped including a pilot light in the 1980s. This is much safer since there is no danger of the pilot going out with the gas still flowing.
If your dryer is not working, check the gas solenoid and the igniter. (Use the data sheet that should be inside the dryer. It may be behind the control panel.) If you live in an area that had a history of mining, check your ventilation. I have to open the garage doors to my home after some storms to get more oxygen into the basement. The gas appliances will give an error about "failing to ignite" if I don't.
I hope this helps.
