Remember, on all older Amana (and some of the new stuff as well) you will need the BOM number, which on yours will be DLE330RAW-PDLE330RAW. The link above is to Sears, because they seem to have the easiest pages to use as far as breakdowns. Would look into other places with the part numbers for better pricing. No service manual that I can find on the unit anymore, and can't find a tech sheet for it either. Parts list doesn't even show one, but you might have one under the console that was put there during manufacturing.

Hi,

If you are having problems with your gas dryer not heating the most common problem is that the ignitor goes bad. Even though it glows sometimes it is still not working properly.

if you dryer is gas check out this gas no heat tip....

If you have an electric dryer, you can have many different things that can go wrong causing the dryer not to heat.

check out this electric no heat tip...

Heating element

check the heating element and the high limit fuse

too hot??? thas gerenally a sign of insuffecient venting, check for arestricted and/or blocked vent. it cant release the proper amount of heat and its buildingup inhte machine

You have a defrost issue.
Adaptive defrost control.
Defrost thermostat.
Defrost heater.
These are the only 3 parts involved.
If there was a model number I could be more help.

hello see if there is any sensors at the back of the dryer test them with a muiltmeter with the power off

I have a ALE643RB Amana dryer and believe the heating element has went out because the dryer will not heat anymore. I have taken the control panel off the top and all the screws out on the back and the bottom edge, but am still not able to get the shell off the dryer. How do you get to the heating element?
