today we are going to change out the heater
on a
electric Amana Dryer
reason being is this dryer has been acting up
takes two to three cycles to dry clothes
the heater or the thermostat is bad
their not that pricey so I bought the whole kit
so let's get on the back side of this
(intro music playing)
first thing I am going to do is remove the cover to the electrical terminals
I am going to test the voltage to each line
so I should have about 120 on each line
so line two
and line one
so I got about 240 voltage
power coming into the dryer is good
I'm going to unplug the dryer
do not work on these things if its powered up
this cover needs to come off
its just a matter of taking these bolts off on the sides
their is six bolts, two on this side, two on that side
and two on this side
and their is one right underneath the cord
so to take this off
we just lift it
and it comes right out
so now the entire back here is exposed
this is where the heater is
its inside here
this little section
so to get the heater out
their is a couple of screw here
and one on the other side
and the heater should just pop right out
got the new heater
that just pops in
okay
alright now we have to put the wires back in
the new one
connect those back in
and now
we're going to take this piece off
set that aside for now
and this is going to come off
now we're going to take the new one
match it up
then we're going to hook this up
to the new one
take this off
hook it up to the new one
so that pretty much everything their is to this
for your heating element system
now I'm just going to button it back up
and see if she works
I will be cleaning up in here first though before I put everything back together
we are done
that's all their is
to installing a
new heater core
on a Amana dryer
honestly they are not that expensive
I think this whole setup with all the new switches and everything was like 36 bucks
on Amazon
what a difference
I can just feel it just by touching the dryer
you can actually feel the heat now
quite a bit of heat
and
wow very happy with that
yes
now the clothes are warm
check out Amazon
I'll put a link to that kit that I bought in the description area
but it is really that simple man
a few bolts on the back side
take the cover off
take pictures of the wiring if you need to
so you don't forget which one goes where
and just put those pieces back in
not difficult to do at all
and you save yourself a couple of hundred bucks
alright
take care, God bless
I'm going to go and do laundry now
bye, bye
