How to Replace the Belt in an Amana Clothes Dryer
Amana manufactures a variety of automatic clothes dryers. Some models are electric and others use natural gas. Every Amana dryer uses the same type of motor pulley system that rotates a belt wrapped around the drum to cause the drum to tumble. When the drum tumbles, clothing inside the dryer is moved around through the heated interior. If the belt is broken or damaged in some other way, the dryer may not be able to tumble. Replace a broken belt to ensure that your Amana dryer is able to tumble and dry wet clothing sufficiently. Does this Spark an idea?
