It could be a broken belt, an obstruction of teh fan or one of many things. Heres the catch, it isnt working so how in the world could you make things worse???

Take it apart and get in there to see what the problem is.

Use a putty knife to release the front clips (one near each front corner) and pop
the top to view belt.

Need model # for exact instructions

Here is the link for the owner's manual, but it doesn't look like much help. Just cut and paste on the address bar of your browser. http://shop.amana.com/assets/pdfs/literature/40125301.PDF
Once you get through looking over the manual, here is how you fix your dryer:

1. Unplug the power plug, disconnect the gas line, and vent hose, and pull out where you can access all sides.
2. Take a putty knife and insert it between the top and the cabinet at the front corners to release the spring clips.
3. Flip the top toward the back making sure the wiring harness to the timer and controls does not get pulled.
4. Take off the access panel toward the bottom of the cabinet, push the belt tensioner away from the belt, and pull the belt off of the motor pulley.
5. Lift the drum out of the cabinet, clean and re-grease the ball and socket at the back of the drum, clean off the surface where the belt rides with steel wool.
6. If the idle rollers turn freely, clean the lint off of the surfaces, put the new belt on the drum and lower back into place.
7. Put the belt back on the motor pulley, put the bottom cover back on, flip the lid closed, reconnect the gas, vent hose, and plug in.
