The short answer
The NED dryer covers the model numbers in the table below, all of them the same platform. The NED family splits across trim and finish suffixes rather than across different machinery, so the order below holds for every one of them.
What goes wrong, and where it is covered
- Abnormal noise — A rhythmic thump in time with the drum. — Slug: amana-amana-dryer-ned-dryer-abnormal-noise — Title: Amana NED Dryer: Abnormal Noise or Vibration
- Cycle will not run or complete — The machine stops at random points in the cycle. — Slug: amana-amana-dryer-ned-dryer-cycle-fault — Title: Amana NED Dryer: Cycle Will Not Run or Complete
- Not heating — The outside of the machine gets unusually hot. — Slug: amana-amana-dryer-ned-dryer-heating-failure — Title: Amana NED Dryer: Not Heating
- Will not start — It went dead at the end of a long, hot, badly drying cycle. — Slug: amana-amana-dryer-ned-dryer-wont-start — Title: Amana NED Dryer: Will Not Start or No Power
Problem classes in order on the NED family
- Abnormal noise: drum support rollers worn or seized — A seized one squeals instead, and either version is loudest with the machine running empty, which is the easiest way to hear it clearly.
- Cycle will not run or complete: moisture sensor bars coated or shorted — Fabric softener and dryer sheets leave a film across the bars that conducts.
- Not heating: blocked or restricted exhaust venting — It also causes most of the part failures below it on this list.
- Will not start: door switch not making when the door is shut — A worn plunger or a door that has dropped slightly leaves the switch open with the door apparently shut.
- Body: No sample size is available, so this is an ordering rather than a measured frequency.

Before any panel comes off
Safety
Unplug the appliance or switch off its breaker before removing any panel — a capacitor can hold a charge after the power is off.
Where owner work stops
The first check on each page below needs no tools; anything behind a panel is a service call. Have your full model number ready: parts differ across this family.
