← Go Back3. What's the Problem?

Diagnostic Report: Noisy Thumping

Failed Component

Drum Glides

Mechanical Fault

The felt or Teflon pads holding up the front of the drum have worn completely away.

My Solution

I lift the drum out and rivet or glue new glide pads onto the front bulkhead to stop the scraping.

⚠️ Disclaimer: This is not DIY advice. Modern appliances utilize lethal high-voltage circuits. Diagnostics and repairs should only be performed by a Trained and Certified Appliance Service Technician.

Should I Fix It Or Toss It?

My honest advice on the lifespan of your Amana Stacked Dryer. Expand below.

Washers & Dryers

✓ Fix It: Clogged drain pumps, snapped dryer belts, burnt thermal fuses, or bad door latches. These are simple, fast, same-day fixes.

✕ Replace It: If a front-load washer sounds like a jet engine on spin cycle and it's over 8 years old, the rear tub bearing is shattered.

Try This Before You Call Me

I don't want to come out for a 5-minute fix you can do yourself. Check these first:

🔌 Power: Check your home's main breaker panel. Sometimes it just tripped.
🔒 Controls: Make sure the "Child Lock" button wasn't accidentally held down.
🌀 Dryer Vent: Go outside and make sure the vent flap isn't choked with lint.

⚠️ DIY Danger Warning

Do not open up the machine if you aren't trained. Modern appliances are dangerous.

⚡ High Voltage: Electric ranges and microwaves hold lethal capacitor charges even when unplugged.
🌊 Flooding: Messing with dishwasher pumps improperly can flood your entire kitchen or the condo below you.

I Know These Brands Inside and Out

After many years, you learn the quirks of every manufacturer. I stock the truck based on what breaks the most.

Whirlpool, Maytag & KitchenAid

These are all built by the Whirlpool Corporation and share parts. If your Maytag washer won't spin, I usually know right away to check the shift actuator or the motor coupling. They are solid machines and parts are always easy to find locally here in Montreal.

FIELD NOTE FROM SENIOR LEAD TECHNICIAN

Overheating & Clogged Vents

"Dryers in Richmond that spin but don't heat often have a tripped thermal safety. This is almost always caused by restricted airflow in the wall duct."

Common Error Codes

If your machine is beeping and flashing letters, it's trying to tell us where it hurts. Here are the common ones I see for Amana.

F01: Main Control Board Failure
F70: UI Communication Error
AF: Exhaust Vent Restricted

The Right Parts Make the Repair

We don't mess around with cheap aftermarket knock-offs. If we fix your Amana Stacked Dryer, we use genuine OEM parts. They fit right, and they last.
