Amana Dryer Repair – Akron, OH (NGD4700YQ2)

A customer in Akron called about their Amana dryer that started squeaking and now sounds like a washer that’s off balance. Our diagnosis revealed a worn roller and some unexpected debris in the drum that needed attention.

The Problem

The dryer runs but was squeaking initially, and the noise evolved into something that sounds like a washer that is off balance. This type of noise progression typically indicates worn internal components that are affecting the drum’s smooth rotation.

Diagnosis

Upon inspection, we found the roller was worn, which explained the noise issues. We also discovered change in the drum flights that needed to be removed. Worn rollers cause the drum to vibrate irregularly, creating that off-balance washing machine sound the customer described.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 4392065 — dryer repair kit
• Work performed: Installed dryer repair kit and removed change from drum flights
• Result: Dryer operates quietly with proper drum rotation

Is It Worth Repairing?

Amana dryers are solid mid-range appliances that typically provide good value when repaired. This NGD4700YQ2 model responds well to roller replacements, and with the repair kit installed, you should get several more years of reliable service from this unit.

Maintenance Tips for Amana Dryers

• Check and empty pockets before loading — coins and small items can damage drum flights and internal components
• Clean the lint filter after every load to prevent airflow restriction that can stress the drum system
• Listen for early squeaking sounds and address them promptly before they develop into more serious noise issues
