Amana ALG331RAW Gas Dryer Questions & Answers
Amana model LGA30AW automatic setting doesn't shut the dryer off
You can make adjustments to your Automatic Cycles by adjusting the Factory Dryness Level:
Changing the Automatic Cycle settings to increase or decrease drying time:
If all your loads on all Automatic Cycles are consistently less dry or more dry than you would like, you may change the default settings to increase or decrease the default dryness
level.
Your automatic drying settings can be adjusted to adapt to different installations, environmental conditions, or personal preference. This change is retained and will affect all of your
Automatic Cycles, not just the current cycle/load. There are 5 drying settings, which are displayed using the time display:
0 Much wetter clothes, 30% less drying time.
1 Slightly wetter clothes, 15% less drying time.
2 Factory preset dryness level.
3 Slightly drier clothes, 15% more drying time.
4 Much drier clothes, 30% more drying time.
TO CHANGE THE DRYING SETTINGS:
NOTE: The settings cannot be changed while the dryer is running or paused. The dryer must be in standby mode (power is off) to adjust the default settings.
- Before starting a cycle, touch and hold DRYNESS for 6 seconds.
- Touch DRYNESS to select the dryness level shown in the time display: 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4.
- Touch START/PAUSE to save the new dryness level setting.

Check the flue where the heat enters the dryer this the tube where the flame from the burner leads into the dryer you will have to take the back panel off and a few screws to remove tube forgot to ask is the inside of the tumbler drum stained
Only turns with light load
If this is not turning with a heavy load it can be one of or a few different things. The motor may be going bad and cant handle the heavy load or the drum belt may be slipping or the dryer drum wheels where the dryer rides on may be worn out.
If its the wheels the machine will be making a sort of a grinding sound when it runs and the dryer drum will be loose and wobbly inside the machine. The drum wheels and belt are cheapest, probably less than 10 bucks for both.
You will need to remove the front of the machine and remove the drum to get to the wheels and belt. It shouldnt take more than 1/2 hour or so to do this job.
The motor is another thing. 150.00 for the part, hours of labor and electrical connections. Clearly not worth it unless you have access to a cheap parts supplier. Check ebay for appliance parts suppliers. They usually buy up manufacturers surplus parts and sell them for 1/2 of what they originally sold for.
Gas does not light
Need more info. Is the igniter coming on but no flame, is the igniter not coming on. Several things will make the igniter not come on (timer, motor switch, thermal fuses, thermostats, temp selectors, etc. What have you checked already?
No heat gas log furance
if it has a pilot light, then it would not have an ignitor. also if it has a pilot light, it should have a knob that has settings for just the pilot light, just off, or on. Find that knob and check settings
It wont heat
never heard of having a pilot light as well an ignitor, the two don't go together. If your have a pilot light that is on the unit is getting gas. If there is pilot light there is usually a knob to switch between pilot light, off, and active on. maybe set to pilot light only.
Dryer heating problem
It sounds like an air flow issue. There is a flame sensor on the side of the flame housing. If the venting is not sucking the flame down the tube it will cycle very quickly and never reach the right temp.

sounds like 1 of the wheels the drum sits on has a bad bearing

Motor runs, but main burner will not ignite
1.heat switch set wrong---correct switch setting
2.defective timer or timer circuit---check timer wiring--replace timer motor or switch as needed
3.defective centrifugal switch in motor---clean switch or replace as needed
4.gas supply valve closed----open gas valve
5.inoperative solenoid coil---test coil for open circuit & the voltage to it
???
Pilot burner goes out
1.insufficient gas supply---- low gas pressure or clogged pilot filter or partially closed gas valve
2.carbon deposit on thermocouple tube---clean tube & check pilot burner for proper combustion
3.improperly adjusted pilot flame--adjust pilot flame until faint yellow tip begins to appear
4.faulty ignition or reset valve or thermocouple---replace
Model ALG331RAW, Amana gas dryer,
The problem is with the timer especially when it is stuck on the same spot and the dryer continues to run if not turned off manually. Disconnect power supply to unit then remove the screws securing the control hood assembly to the control hood rear panel.
Rotate hood assembly forward to access the timer.
Check the timer wiring for loose connections; label them to avoid messing them up upon reconnection. Replace the timer if no obvious issue is found with the wiring connections.
Remove timer knob by pulling it outward and away from the front of the graphic panel. Remove the screw securing the timer to the control hood mounting plate. 6. Raise metal tab and rotate the timer to remove it from the slotted location. Reverse procedure to reassemble or install new timer.
