Default short in wire
Model Number: LEA50AW   Brand: Amana   Age: 5 - 10 years   

My dryer was not heating. After testing and replacing most of the electrical parts. I found a short. It was a orange wire running from the fabric selector switch to the timer. It was burnt at the timer. I spliced the wire and reconnected it. How ever, it only gets hot on time dry. It does not heat on auto dry. Do I need to replace the timer? or is there some thing else I can do?

Gene has much to be proud of

Before replace any parts I would recommend to run a few tests as described in the repair manual.

- Here are the break down diagrams for the Amana dryer Model LEA50AW

Good luck.
Gene.
