Hi,
When the dryer won't heat or will not start it is the thermostat/thermal fuse that is bad, you can test it with a voltmeter before replacing. This fuse is located inside the rear panel and it cannot be reset.
Hope this will help....

HIya,

Cabinet Removal- Maytag & Amana Top Load Washing Machine

Remove the two (2) screws (item #21 on the attachment below) from the bottom of the front panel. Once the screws are removed, pull out on the bottom of the front panel until the spring clips release for the cabinet top.

SOURCE: How to install drum belt in Amana Model LED20AW.

Pull the front panel off, remove the top screws and tilt top back. Rout the new belt around drum at the old wear spot with the grooved side against the drum. Next remove the back access door and rout the belt around the idler pulley and motor pulley. There is only one way to do this and get proper tension on the belt.
Also, when you order the belt, ask if it has a belt routing diagram on the belt package.

SOURCE: Dryer has stopped spinning

ALWAYS UNPLUG YOUR DRYER BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO DO ANY WORK ON IT.
Sounds like your problem may be a broken belt, or the belt may have slipped off of the motor pulley, or idler arm pulley.
If you have to replace your drum belt and if you have a front loading machine.
Remove the electrical console that holds the timer switch, start switch, etc. from the top of the dryer. Be real careful not to knock any of the wires off of the timer switch. Then remove the top of the dryer.
Remove the front of the machine, this will expose the belt and drum, remove the drum and belt and this will expose the drum rollers, idler arm bracket with pulley, and motor with pulley. Pay attention to the route of the belt, this will come in handy when you go to reinstall the belt and drum.
Sometimes the belt will slip off of the idler arm or motor causing the drum not to turn.
While you have the drum out, I would recommend that you lubricate the drum rollers at the shaft of the roller with a good grade of machine oil like 3 in One oil. This will save you a problem later with the rollers getting noisy, also check your drum rollers for flat spots, if they have flat spots on them this will cause a noise like a thumping type noise. You will need to replace the drum rollers if they have flat spots on them.
I will include these two websites for parts and further help:

Both also have chat assistance 24/7.
Good luck,
I hope this helps

SOURCE: getting to heating element/thermal fuse for amana model LED 20AW

I just replaced mine by taking the bottom off, but in hindsight I think I should have been able to do it by just removing the lower front panel. With long arms, you should be able to reach back and loosen the two bolts holding it in place. Good luck!

LED20AW Heating element

No Jim, that amount of lint is normal in all of those dryers. You should clean it out annually to prevent fires. The front panel under the door is all that you should have to take off to get to the heater coil and to clean it out.

I have an model led20aw it is not heating. Heating element is good. What else could be the problem

First make sure you have 240 Volts going into the dryer. If you do you would need to chase all the wiring for a loose connection (usually burnt). First look at the timer, then there are thermostats near the element to be checked and there is a switch mounted on the outside of the motor; it has two "bigger" wires connected to it. Sometimes the connection burns loose at that point.
