Amana Dryer Repair (Model NED4655EW0) – Carrollton, OH

A Carrollton homeowner called when their Amana dryer started making loud squealing and rattling noises during cycles. The 10-year-old NED4655EW0 had developed worn drum support components that needed immediate attention to prevent motor damage.

The Problem

The customer reported loud squealing and rattling sounds whenever the drum turned. The noise was rhythmic and got worse as the cycle progressed. Visual inspection through the door showed the drum wobbling slightly during rotation.

Diagnosis

After removing the top panel, we found the idler pulley had excessive play and worn bearing surfaces. Two drum support rollers were seized and had developed flat spots from dragging against the drum. The drive belt was still intact, and the motor ran smoothly — confirming the noise came from these worn support components rather than the drive system.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 4392065 — idler pulley assembly and two drum support rollers
• Work performed: Removed drum, replaced worn pulley and rollers, reassembled with proper tension
• Result: Test cycle ran quietly with smooth, stable drum rotation

Is It Worth Repairing?

For a 10-year-old Amana dryer, replacing worn drum components is usually worthwhile. These NED4655EW0 units are built solidly and typically last 15-18 years with proper maintenance. The motor and heating elements rarely fail on this model, so addressing the mechanical wear keeps it running reliably.

Maintenance Tips for Amana Dryers

• Clean the lint filter before every load — Amana’s high-capacity filters catch more debris that can recirculate
• Check drum support rollers annually by spinning the drum by hand when empty — they should roll smoothly
• Keep exhaust runs under 25 feet on NED models to maintain proper airflow and reduce mechanical strain
