We recently serviced an Amana dryer in Canton that was tumbling normally but producing no heat. The customer reported the unit would run through complete cycles without drying clothes. Our diagnosis revealed a failed heating element — a common failure point on this NED7300WW0 model.
The Problem
The homeowner called because their Amana dryer would start and tumble clothes but wasn’t generating any heat. Clothes were coming out damp after full cycles, and the drum wasn’t getting warm during operation. The unit was otherwise functioning normally with proper drum rotation and cycle timing.
Diagnosis
Testing revealed complete heating element failure on part number WP3387747. The element showed no continuity and had developed an open circuit. On Amana dryers, heating elements typically fail due to repeated thermal cycling and can break down over time, especially with heavy use or restricted airflow conditions.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: WP3387747 — heating element assembly
- Work performed: Removed rear panel, disconnected old element, installed new heating element with proper wire connections
- Result: Verified proper heat generation and completed full test cycle with appropriate temperature rise
Is It Worth Repairing?
This NED7300WW0 model is a solid mid-range Amana dryer that typically provides reliable service for 10-12 years with proper maintenance. Heating element replacement is a straightforward repair on these units, and the overall build quality justifies the investment. The rest of the dryer’s components were in good condition, making this repair cost-effective.
Maintenance Tips for Amana Dryers
- Clean the lint screen after every load — Amana dryers are particularly sensitive to restricted airflow which can cause premature heating element failure
- Check and clean the external vent hood annually, ensuring the flapper moves freely and no lint buildup blocks airflow
- Inspect the flexible vent hose behind the dryer for kinks or lint accumulation that could restrict exhaust flow
