If your Amana dryer is leaking water, start by checking the fill hose first—leaks coming from outside the cabinet are most often a cracked or loose fill hose or missing rubber washers. If the water is inside the drum, the nozzle that sprays the hot mist is the next likely culprit; inspect it for cracks or clogs and swap it out if damaged. If your model does not have a steam function, rule out external plumbing or venting as the source. A damaged steam generator is another common cause of internal leaks, so look for cracks in the housing there. Also tighten any loose hose connectors and replace worn rubber washers, since loose fittings are a frequent, easy-to-fix problem. Less commonly, a cracked water inlet valve inside the cabinet will leak and should be replaced if damaged. Enter your dryer model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement fill hose, nozzle, steam generator, inlet valve, or washers that fit your machine and get back to drying without the puddles.
01 - Amana Dryer Fill Hose
A water leak that is coming from outside the dryer cabinet may be caused by a damaged fill hose. Inspect the hose for small cracks or holes and confirm the hose is secured firmly to the inlet valve. A damaged hose will need to be replaced with a new one. If needed, install new rubber washers at the ends of the hose for a water tight seal.

A water leak inside the dryer drum may be caused by a faulty nozzle, the component used to spray the hot mist. Inspect the nozzle for any cracks or signs of visible damage and replace the old nozzle with a new one if required.
A non steam dryer is not connected to water and will not cause a leak. Look for other sources of leaks.

06 - Amana Dryer Water Inlet Valve
A water leak that is coming from inside the dryer cabinet is likely caused by a damaged water inlet valve.

If the inlet valve's housing is cracked or damaged, the component should be replaced with a new one.
