Why is My Electric Clothes Dryer Not Drying Completely? (Featuring Amana Model # NED4655EW1)

[@LisaChuch]

Thank you so much for your video! Seeing you (a woman) getting the job done has given me the confidence to tackle my own dryer repair! It was the lent hose going to the exterior. Wow, it was totally clogged! Thanks again 👍

[@susanholmer8094]

This is so wholesome. I wish there were more women doing what you do! Keep up the great work!

[@BlairAstoria]

I just did it last night! (I am a woman😂) I should have made a video of it!

[@saakerson2]

I’m so confused. What was the issue then??

[@Jess4ever1]

I recently watched your video, and it was a huge relief. My Amana dryer isn't producing any heat at all. I've already removed the front loading door, the back, and the top, then cleaned and vacuumed inside the dryer and the vent, but I got sidetracked and left everything scattered on my laundry floor until it was time to do laundry again 😅. Your video has motivated me to purchase a multimeter and attempt to fix it. The dryer runs through its cycles as usual, but there's no heat. I plan to work on it tomorrow and reassemble everything. I think it might be the thermostat or the heating sensor. I had already resigned myself to having to buy a new one, but your video gives me hope. 😊 P.S. I can't thank you enough for your video. As a single mom who just bought her new home, dealing with appliances breaking down is so expensive, and that's why your video means the world to me.thanl you. 😊

[@heleneferraro4239]

Thank you so much for posting. This is the exact dryer that I have and now I can do what you did! Thank you so much Helene ❤

[@jeffgray8419]

I have the same model dryer. Mine had a lint ball the size of a rabbit inside the dryer next to the blower. Unclogged and working like new now. thanks for the video.

You are a blast. Love your cheerful attitude. Carry on !

[@twin2uision703]

One thing that can happen with coil heating is that the coils crack, they will often show good continuity when col d but once heated they expand and separate.

[@unknowmysteries5925]

We have the same issue with drying. However, the unit timer got stuck and ran while I went out. I shouldn’t have left it on while I left but it had 30 mins or less. Well low and behold it ran for 8 hours. The element went out and the timer went out. Replaced now working fine. However cleaning the traps and the vent really helps. But still takes 2 hours to dry. Now…. The wife has a bad habit. If it fits in the washer then it all fits in the dryer. I advised this is not the case. Over loading will also cause delay drying. So a bit less helps. Also a dry towel in the mix will help. Something I picked up that helps. It’s an economy dryer. This is the main reason it doesn’t dry as well. I’m also in Arizona and it’s pretty dry here. Still doesn’t dry well. It’s just an electric dryer. The old gas ones really worked the best. You also lucky to have only cut your finger. Dryers and washers are usually made poorly even when high end and have tons of sharp edges. I recommend a good pair of work gloves or ones that cover the wrist if you don’t normally work on these kind of machines.

[@cawag98]

Spoiler: It might just be humidity. Seriously, though if it heat pretty hot then the heating coils are fine. If it sometimes doesn't dry all the way and the dryer has an "auto dry" or auto sensing feature, then try checking that the two metal bars usually on the drum are clean. A light scrubbing with a kitchen scrubby pad will probably clean them. I'm here because I need to clean, check the resistance of mine. Thanks for the video!

[@r.s7081]

Appreciate your vid, I also think its the current high humidity. Youre a genius!...The end of the vid? ( lucky dryer.)😛

[@wanted-33]

I know this is an older video, but I have to comment. A woman that can fix her own stuff is my kinda woman. Please, no offense meant here.😀 My wife is looking at this dryer to replace her old one, and this video really helps. It's a simple dryer, and I like that. Thank you.

[@jenniferwhitaker7649]

This is a really helpful video-I have the same dryer and can't figure out why it isn't drying completely.

[@ChickFixUSA]

I certainly hope it helps you figure it out!

[@jaimesilvaf.401]

Hey! Love what you do at home to fix practically everything. You rule for sure. 👌👌👏👏👋👋👋

Same deal over here! Any ideas on how to handle the humidity issue???

[@lendonpartain8200]

great video! mine was doing the exact same thing. it takes like 6 hours to dry.

[@JasonSmith-qx3zh]

This is my kind of woman great video and being a looker does not hurt either.

[@janomalley]

Great video and now your dryer is nice and CLEAN!

[@Panterazila]

Love it! Great video. 👍 😁

[@Brittvanegas]

Great video! Sometimes the Timmer goes bad on these. 😃 😊

[@donniedarko979]

I had one issue with a dryer that flipping the breaker off and then back on fixed a similar issue.

[@tomnorman457]

Great video! Next time you pull the dryer out to work on it or clean behind it? You might consider replacing the “foil” duct with semi-rigid duct.

[@JasonSmith-qx3zh]

Could be arcing in the timer or the heating element ??

[@Enviroguarddirect]

Came to find an answer. I'm a tech. I have to say, well done! And thanks for a laugh. Keep it up

[@easycookingwithshazia9220]

I followed you and found vend was chocked. It is working great now :) thanks

[@StorminNorvin]

Did you test the timer and the motor heat circuit with your multimeter? Could also be the moisture sensor bars.

[@vickiedreamin590]

Hmm that makes sense to me the temp outside can affect so much! But you made me want to pull my dryer. Apart and find out where the squeal is before the neighbors start revolting! 😂😀😜

[@ChickFixUSA]

Ha! My guess about the squeal is that it might be the belt.

[@snoopfurlow1275]

Roller wheels,

[@davidkolosso1990]

Does this dryer have an end of cycle signal (annoying buzzer) or does it just shut off when the cycle is complete with no noise?

[@ChickFixUSA]

No buzzer, it just shuts off. Which is both good and bad.

[@justme7777]

​@@ChickFixUSA, the timer only works when your using the auto-sencing. It doesn't work when you use the timed drying!

[@kennyramsey4773]

THNX DOLL...MINE WAS THE THERMOSTAT!!!🤘🤘😎😎😎

[@nomiharper]

You’re hilarious. How do you remember how to put things back together properly? Amazing.

[@julieheleba1380]

Great video! Trying to figure out the same issue with my dryer!

[@snoopfurlow1275]

Check the cycling thermostat or the timer check the dryer vent lint vent,

[@titanfire619]

How do you take off i try 2 hours no luck

[@randyrawdingii5135]

Great video! I've essentially replaced all the thermistors, thermostats and blah blah blah on my propane dryer a couple years ago and needed a refresher for my gf's electric one. BABE: Clothes are damp, time to buy a new dryer! ME: OMG babes, NOOOO, there's like 5 parts to check. YT and I got this! 😂😂 Thanks for making me laugh, great vid!

[@sarahbeee5240]

Mine keeps running and won't turn off. It's slowly stopped heating too ugh

[@itsandretta]

How did you fix it? We’re having the same problem.

Thermo fuse,a little white fuse with 2 wires

Do I have to take out the heating coils to test continuity?

[@snoopfurlow1275]

No.

[@michaelmcdonnell1172]

ha ha ha. you made me laugh so hard this morning watching this. great job. lol

[@husafel]

Great funny video! I agree with you on the humidity. Try getting the clothes out as soon as there done. If the dryer is working got to look at the weather! I’m going to get that Dewalt electric ⚡️ tool!

[@ChickFixUSA]

So, I'm not crazy? Yay!

[@pinkroses135]

I have a different amana that has been giving me trouble for a while. I just figured they're crappy budget models.

[@peggyshoemake7446]

If I have a hose that is to long could that cause it to not dry right

[@snoopfurlow1275]

No

[@msletitia22]

Great video... I have the exact same dryer that is doing the same thing. For the last month it has been 100 degrees or higher here maybe that is the problem. It's a brand new dryer, I've only had it exactly 1 month. Seems to coincide with the weather...hmmmm

[@yancy1200]

Check the thermo fuse or the timer, cycling thermostat,or timer

You need to check voltage at dryer,maybe line cord bad or breaker

You should never have screws used for fasteners on dryer vent lines.
