Frequently Asked Questions - NED5800HW AMANA

What to do if the dryer does not start?

Make sure the door is securely closed and that the START/PAUSE button is held until you hear the 3-2-1 countdown. Also check that the household fuses or circuit breakers are not blown or tripped.

Why is my dryer not heating?

This may be due to a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker (electric models use two). Also make sure the gas shutoff valve is open for gas models. Contact an electrician if the problem persists.

How to clean the lint filter?

Remove the filter by pulling it upward. Remove the lint by rolling it off with your fingers. Do not wash the filter with water, as wet lint is difficult to remove. Replace it firmly.

What does the Check Vent light mean?

It indicates an obstruction in the lint filter or the exhaust vent. Clean the filter and make sure the vent is not crushed or obstructed. If the light remains on, have the exhaust system cleaned.

How to reduce long drying times?

Clean the lint filter before each load. Make sure the Eco Dry option is off for faster drying. Also check that the exhaust vent is not obstructed and that the room temperature is above 7 °C.

Why is there lint on my clothes?

The lint filter is probably clogged. Clean it before each load. If lint persists, check that the exhaust vent is clean.

What to do if stains appear on laundry?

Stains can be caused by fabric softener sheets added too late or by unstable dyes (jeans). Add the softener at the beginning of the cycle and wash unstable dye items inside out.

How to unlock controls if the screen shows <b>Loc</b>?

Hold the CONTROL LOCK button for about 3 seconds. The display will count down 3-2-1 and the controls will unlock.

What does error code <b>PF</b> mean?

The PF (Power Failure) code appears after a power outage. Press and hold START to restart the cycle, or press POWER to clear the display.

How to use the drying rack?

Purchase the optional drying rack. Place items (sweaters, shoes) on the rack without overloading. Select a Timed Dry cycle with heat or air only. Do not remove the lint filter.

DRYER SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

DANGER

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

WARNING

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

WARNING - "Risk of Fire"

• Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer.
• Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer's instructions and local codes.
• Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials or flexible metal (foil type) duct. If flexible metal duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified by the appliance manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dryers. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.
• To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.
• Save these instructions.

In the State of Massachusetts, the following installation instructions apply:

■ Installations and repairs must be performed by a qualified or licensed contractor, plumber, or gas fitter qualified or licensed by the State of Massachusetts.
Acceptable Shut-off Devices: Gas Cocks and Ball Valves installed for use shall be listed.
A flexible gas connector, when used, must not exceed 4 feet (121.9 cm).

WARNING:

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD

Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could result in serious injury, death, or property damage.

• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
  WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

• Do not try to light any appliance.

• Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.
• Clear the room, building, or area of all occupants.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

• Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.

WARNING: Gas leaks cannot always be detected by smell.

Gas suppliers recommend that you use a gas detector approved by UL or CSA.

For more information, contact your gas supplier.

If a gas leak is detected, follow the "What to do if you smell gas" instructions.

IMPORTANT: The gas installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.

The dryer must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

Read all instructions before using the appliance.
- Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
- Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.
Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the drying compartment.
- Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.
- Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
Do not tamper with controls.
- Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
- Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
- Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.

Clean lint screen before or after each load.
- Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.
The interior of the appliance and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
- Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire. To reduce the risk of fire due to contaminated loads, the final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
- Do not use replacement parts that have not been recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at home using a 3D printer).
See the Installation Instructions for grounding requirements and installation.
- Do not install a booster fan in the exhaust duct. NOTE: The booster fan warning does not apply to clothes dryers intended to be installed in a multiple clothes dryer system, with an engineered exhaust duct system that is installed per the clothes dryer manufacturer's guidelines.

Unusual Noise
Thumping noise	Dryer hasn't been used in a while.	This is normal. The thumping sound should diminish after a few minutes of use.
Rattling or vibrating noise	A small object caught between the edges of dryer drum.	Check the front and rear edges of the drum for small objects. Clean out pockets before laundering.
	Dryer isn't properly leveled. The dryer may vibrate if not properly installed. See the Installation Instructions. All four dryer feet should be in firm contact with the floor.
	Clothing is balled up in dryer. When balled up, the load will bounce, causing the dryer to vibrate. Separate the load items and restart the dryer.
Clicking noise	Gas valve operating.	On gas dryers, you may hear the gas valve clicking as it opens and closes. This is normal.
Dryer Results
Drying times are too long and clothes are not getting dry	Lint screen is clogged with lint.	Clean lint screen before each load.
	Eco Dry option is on.	For optimal dry times, turn off the Eco Dry option.
	The exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood is clogged with lint, restricting air movement.	Run the dryer for 5-10 minutes. Hold your hand under the outside exhaust hood to check air movement. If you do not feel air movement, clean exhaust system of lint or replace exhaust vent with heavy metal or flexible metal vent. See the Installation Instructions.
	The exhaust vent is not the correct length.	Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has too many turns. Long venting will increase drying times. See the Installation Instructions.

If you experience Possible Causes Solution
Dryer Results (cont.)
Drying times are too long and clothes are not getting dry (cont.)	The dryer is not level. Clothes not conta	acting the moisture sensors during Sensor cycles. See "Level Dryer" in the Installation Instructions.
	The load is too large and heavy to dry quickly.	Separate the load to tumble freely.
	Fabric softener sheets are blocking the grille.	The air outlet grille is just inside the door, behind the lint screen. Check that it is not blocked by a fabric softener sheet. Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.
	The dryer is located in a room with temperature below 45°F (7°C).	Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above 45°F (7°C).
	The dryer is located in a closet. Closet	doors must have ventilation openings at the top and bottom of the door. The front of the dryer requires a minimum of 1" (25 mm) of airspace, and, for most installations, the rear of the dryer requires 5" (127 mm). See the Installation Instructions.
Cycle time is too short The	load may not be contacting the sensor strips on Automatic Cycles.	Level the dryer. See the Installation Instructions. All four dryer feet should be in firm contact with the floor.
	The Sensor cycle is ending early. Change	the dryness level setting on Sensor Cycles. Increasing or decreasing the dryness level will change the amount of drying time in a cycle.
Lint on load Lint screen is clogged with lint. Clean lint screen before each load.
Stains on load Improper use of fabric softener. Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle. Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can stain your garments.
Stains on drum Loose dyes in clothes. Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans). These will not transfer to other clothing.
Loads are wrinkled The load was not removed from dryer at the end of the cycle.	NOTE: Refer to garment care label instructions. Dry-clean-only garments are not recommended.
The dryer was tightly packed. Dry smal	er loads that can tumble freely. Results may also vary depending on fabric type.
Odors Recent painting, staining, or varnishing in the area where your dryer is located.	Ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from the area, rewash and dry the clothing.
The electric dryer is being used for the first time.	The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor will be gone after the first cycle.
Load too hot	Load removed before cooldown portion of cycle complete.	Allow the dryer to complete the cooldown portion of the cycle before removing the load.
	Using Timed Dry cycle with a high temperature setting.	Select a Sensor Cycle with a lower heat setting to avoid overdrying the load.

Refer to the Installation Instructions for details. Select a Timed Dry heated cycle, and restart the dryer. If the message persists, consult a qualified electrician.
“F# E#” (F1 E1, F3 E1, etc.) variable service codes	The dryer is in need of service. If a code	beginning with an “F” appears in the display, alternating between F# and E#, the dryer control has detected a problem that requires service. Call for service.
Check Vent indicator is lit	The lint screen or vent is clogged; the vent is crushed or kinked or has too many turns.	The dryer will continue to run when this indicator is lit. Try the following: Clean lint screen. • Check to see if the vent run from the dryer to the wall is crushed or kinked. • Confirm that the vent run from the dryer to the wall is free of lint and debris. • Confirm that the exterior vent exhaust hood is free of lint and debris. • Confirm that your vent system falls within the recommended run length and number of elbows for the type of vent you are using. Refer to “Plan Vent System” in the Installation Instructions for details. • Select a Timed Dry heated cycle, and restart the dryer. • If the indicator remains lit, have your entire home venting run cleaned.
