When you say the dryer had a lot of use, how many loads a week are you talking about?
If it’s less than 10 loads a week, it probably has a good bit more life in it especially if it’s paired with a washing machine that spun, a lot of water out of the clothing. it would probably cost about a third as much to get it repaired as buying the new Amana dryer so it’s your call you’ll probably get another five years or so out of the dryer by fixing it up There won’t be any fault codes or anything to reset, it’s most likely a bad igniter, heat sensor, or the coils, as you mentioned, either one of these parts is fairly cheap, although a dryer that’s had a good bit of use. It might pay to take it apart vacuum it and possibly put a new belt on it and a drop or two of oil on each of the four rollers and the idler pulley, bearing while you’re working on it if you want to go the extra mile, Clean out the vent thoroughly too if you haven’t done it also clean the lint filter housing while you’re working on it. It removed with a couple screws. That’s the pocket that the lint filter slides down into. Also make sure the fan is clean. John |

Thanks for your responses. So roughly 10-15 loads a week. Yes it is the dryer with the lint trap on top. |
