Big Joe, I don't think it is the filter. On that Amana the Heating Element is in the back left hand corner of the dryer. If you have a meter, you can check the conponents on the element housing, and the element. Also make sure you check the breaker, that it is not partially tripped. If you need me you can reach me at my web site at ApplianceEducator.com Tom
