Thread: Dryer temperature

  1. #1

    Dryer temperature

    Model Number: NED5100TQ1
    Brand: Amana
    Age: 1-5 years

    I always use the timed heat option on the dryer, but recently it seems that it isn't heating up as it did before. I tried using the automatic heat option and it heats up properly. I was wondering what would cause one to work and not the other? Also it seems the knob is a little off as the timed heat option stops before the marked stop on the dryer.

    It sounds like the timer might be bad. A quick test you can do it unplug the dryer and remove the timer and shake the timer. Often when these timers fail a piece will break off inside and you can hear it rattling around when you shake it. You can also test the timer by doing a continuity test and using the tech sheet which shows which contacts in the timer should have continuty at which point. Let us know what you find.

    This is the timer for your model dryer:
