ALG331RAC Amana Dryer - Instructions

i took the front off the dryer took belt loose took the tub out the plastic nut on the blower wheel striped out so i took the blower housing apart along with the motor got vise grips on blower wheel replaced motor blower wheel belt and belt tenchinor and spring cleaned all the lint put it back together works fine

noticed that male half was in good working order, so I just snapped in the new female half; without any tools. easy repair!

Ordered new lint filter from part select; paid for it with credit card on line; waited for delivery in one week; received by ups; unboxed; cleaned filter trap area with vacume; and dropped in new filter.

Followed troubleshooting steps. Checked thermal fuse (shorted)- OK. Checked igniter (about 70 ohms) - OK. checked flame sensor - (open) BAD (should read shorted). This part is normally shorted then opens when the igniter gets hot causing it to open and thus turns on the gas flow. An open flame sensor does not permit the igniter to turn on.

I had already taken the dryer apart prior to changing the felt seal. Had oiled the rollers, greased the bearings & vacuumed the whole inside of the dryer out. Had used a high temp lubricant on the seal & had stopped squeaking for about a month. I ordered 2 seals & when they arrived, I popped the top of the dryer off using the putty knife to pry the spring latches. I opened the top up & leaned it against a wall. I disconnected the wiring to the light & the switch in the door, making note of the wiring order. Then used a nut driver to take the 2 screws from the inside out, that holds the front cover in place. Then the same for the 4 screws holding the front bulkhead in place. Then lifted up & out from the unit. Then used the putty knife to scrap the adhesive & old seal off the bulkhead. Cleaned as much of the adhesive off, then applied some high temp silicone adhesive to the bulkhead, placed the new seal on, using some clamps to hold it in place. After making sure it had adhered to the seal & bulkhead. Did the reversal of the above mentioned steps. Moved the unit to laundry room, plugged it in then started it & voila no more squeaking dryer.

The repair went better than expected. I watched the video of how to replace the dryer belt and although it wasn't exactly the same, just by watching the video I was able to find my way through the process. Thank you very much for taking the time to create the video, it was very helpful and saved me a bundle of money by being able to do the repair myself.Thanks again!!! Dano, Melbourne Fl.

removed front, top cabinet, drum, belt and motor. replaced idler pulley on motor. replaced motor, belt, drum and cabinet parts. test ran fine.

This is merely taking the old filter out and putting the new filter in. You will not find this part unless you go online or get lucky and find one in a used dryer. It is not necessary but I do recommend vacuuming the inside of the dryer beneath the filter. It is amazing how much lint can be in there.

I removed the top and front of the dryer then the lint filter housing and frame that holds in the drum then the drum belt and drum. Found that tha drive pulley was spining on ths shaft. I removed the fan cover, so I could remove the fan. I disconted wire harnsh and removed motor clamps from back and front of motor. Removed drive pulley and held shaft with a pare of chanellocks. I removed fan with 7/8 socket and impact drill.Then I replaced the motor by taking the motor frame out of the drier for easyer actess. Install fan on new motor by holding drive pulley with cressent while putting on fan with impact drill. Put motor in u shaped saddles making sure they are seated in the bottom. You may have to turn the barring a little. Then reinstale clamps. Put motor back in drier and put drier back togeather. simple saves money 144.00$ for motor and beld no labor. Ed from Mojve CA.

Opened the bottom panel w/ 1/4 nut driver to access the flame sensor and easy fix.

When I first heard it sqweeling I tokk off bottom cover and peeked around the turned it on and it seemed to be coming from a back roller,I sprayed a little wd-40 and it went away,for a day ! Then I found parts select on line and found the problem. The belt had worn into the roller almost to the shaft. I ordered the roller and belt and watched the very helpful video and it took about 15 minutes!parts $29. 00 Piece and quiet without calling service guy priceless !! Thanks steven l. I. Ny

Just like in the video. A very simple repair

removed bottom kick plate,then door and front drum seal support so i could lift top cover out of the way.took off belt and removed drum to get at support rollers.
