Amana NED4655EW-WW User Manual

To possibly avoid a service call, first try the suggestions listed here or refer to the “Assistance or Service” page.

Cycle time too short

Automatic cycle ending early.

The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the 

dryer.
Use Timed Dry for very small loads. Change the Dry Level  

setting on Automatic Dry cycles.
Increasing or decreasing the Dry Level setting will change the 

amount of drying time in a cycle. 

Lint on load

Lint screen clogged.

Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.

Stains on load or drum

Dryer fabric softener not properly 

used.

Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle. 

Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can stain 

your garments.
Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans). 

These will not transfer to other clothing.

Loads are wrinkled

Dryer tightly packed.

Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely reduce wrinkles from 

forming.

Odors

Recent painting, staining, or 

varnishing in the area where your 

dryer is located.

If so, ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone 

from the area, rewash and dry the clothing.

Dryer being used for the first time.

The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor 

will be gone after the first cycle.

Load is too hot

Laundry items removed from the 

dryer before the end of the cycle.

Allow Cool Down cycle to finish before removing laundry from 

dryer. All cycles are cooled slowly to reduced wrinkling and 

make it easier to handle. Items removed before Cool Down may 

feel very warm.

High temperature cycle used or was 

TEMPERATURE control set to high.

Select a lower temperature, and use an automatic drying cycle. 

These cycles sense the temperature or the moisture level in the 

load and shut off when the load reaches the selected dryness. 

This reduces overdrying.
