I have an Amana dryer- I am not sure which one is the model # NED5240TQ0 or MU4949561 or ELE-2406026. A sock fell down the lint vent and my daughter turned it on and it made a noise so she shut the door. She then started it again and it now makes a whinning noise. Am I able to get the sock out on my own?
Turn off you power to the dryer and then,
You could run a coat hanger straightened out with a hook bent on the end of it into the lint vent at try to hook the sock.
But probably you will have to remove the back to follow the lint vent.
You may try to remove the vent hose and run the straightened coat hanger in there to try and remove the sock.
Hope this helps

We have a LEQ8000JQ3 whirlpool dryer. Yesterday, when I went to turn the dryer on to dry some items, the dryer simply would not turn on at all. I had done some other drying earlier and didn't have any probems at all. I check the breaker box, and the breaker had not been tripped. Can you shed any light on the situation for me? Thank you, Ann Van Gheem
