Amana Electric Dryer - NDE2330AYW: Amana dryer model nde2335ayw

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 12:31:23 -0700

My dryer has stopped working and I am hoping to learn to fix it myself with your help (hopefully). Its an Amana model nde2335ayw fairly old but not sure how old as I just bought this house and they left it. When I try to start the dryer by setting the knobs and then pressing in on the timer/start knob I hear a humming which I believe is from the motor but it doesn’t spin and it doesn’t stay on. As soon as I release the knob the humming stops nothing starts. I manually (with my hand) rotated the drum and quickly shut the door and pressed the on button and it did turn on once and stayed on until I turned it off by opening the door but it will not turn on again without “help”. I assume this is a motor problem but wanted to get assurances from experienced people before doing anything. Can I repair or rebuild the motor? Any other troubleshooting I should do? I really can’t afford to replace or call a professional right now so was hoping to get it back to running myself although I suppose there is always the cost of parts possibly.

Amana Dryer: My thermal fuse keeps blowing in Amana dryer despite best efforts

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 11:50:53 -0700

I, being the broke man I am, have a cheap dryer (Amana model # NGD4655EW). It worked fine for three years though, not drying loads super well but getting the job done. About three months ago the thermal fuse blew, and I learned a lot about dryers to fix it cheap because, again, broke. I replaced it, cleaned everything, and made sure it worked well. It worked great, drying plenty more laundry until two days ago when the fuse blew again. I, confused, checked everything else and it was just that. Air flow seems fine, heating element kicks on and off as needed, continuity on all the other doodads in the back are great. I replaced it once more, and it's blown again.

I am going insane here. I'm cleaning out the whole thing every time I take it apart, and I replaced the dryer hose. I can't clean the ducts in the house as I'm renting but they seem clean enough for air flow for me. I've felt outside and it has warm air.

What do I do or look at? I don't wanna do redneck maintenance and just bypass the fuse, and I REALLY don't want a drying rack, but dryers are expensive. Thank you!

Amana Dryer: My Amana dryer has power and the light comes on but it won’t run

Thu, 02 May 2024 14:05:20 -0700

My Amana dryer model number NDG5805AWW was working fine but when I went to put the next load of clothes in the dryer it wouldn’t run. The light was on but when I pushed the knob nothing happened. I replaced the thermal fuse and pushed the knob to test it. It came on and ran. I opened the door to shut it off but a half hour later when I went to put clothes in it and run it, it wouldn’t run . Any suggestions?

Amana Dryer: Dryer won’t shut off in time cycle clothes are dry

Dryer not shutting off won’t shut off in a time cycle or the auto cycles. It is heating and does advance to the stop area, but will not shut off timer has been replaced. Old timer did the same thing.

Amana Dryer: Amana NGO5100 Dryer Issue

Mon, 21 Aug 2023 06:15:35 -0700

My Amana natural gas dryer quit running. I can push the start button and the buzzer goes off. I've tried starting it with the door open and safety interlock depressed while turning the drum at the same time (assuming the motor might be going bad) but this resulted in the same behavior - buzzing and wouldn't start spinning.

Thanks in advance for suggestions!

my dryer works fine, and even eventually turns off heat. But will not stop spinning and blowing air.
