Question Dryer Gets Warm But Still Not Dry
Brand: Amana
Model Number: LEA30AW
Age: 5 - 10 years

I Run My Clothes Through The 70 Min. Cycle And They Still Arn't Dry. I Have To Put Them On For 20 More Min. Even With Small Loads. The Clothes Feel Warm, But Not Real Hot. Does Anyone Have Any Idea What This Would Be? Maybe Thermostat Or Thermal Fuse? Thanks So Much For Any Help.

You both have a clogged vent. Take of the vent hose on the back of the dryer, and clean it out. Then put in back on and turn the dryer on, and go out side to your vent, and feel if the air is comimng out resonably hard. If you feel aliitle bit of air, you both need to clear that line. Thermostat do neot tend to mess up on either one of your dryers. If you need me, you can get me at my web site. T. PAONE's APPLIANCE SALES & SERVICE GUIDE Tom

If your vent was cloged your dryer would be too hot,you could have a short cycling operating thermostat, or heating element shorting to ground which would only provide a small amount of heat
