Amana Dryer light is out
If the interior light in your Amana dryer is out, the most likely cause is a defective light assembly, but a bad light socket often shows up next. If the bulb and socket test good, the next suspects are the control electronics that drive the indicator lights — the control panel assembly, the touchpad/control panel, or the user control and display board — any of which can keep the light from coming on and make it look like the dryer controls not working. A faulty door switch is less common but can prevent voltage from reaching the lamp, so test it if the others check out. A quick continuity check with a multimeter usually tells you where the fault sits, and replacing the failed part gets the light back. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement light assembly, socket, control panel, door switch, or display board that fits your dryer and get step by step parts and repair help.
01 - Amana Dryer Light Socket
If the light itself is newly installed or shows no signs of damage, yet still won't work, it's possible the light socket is defective. You can use a multimeter to test whether or not voltage is reaching the light socket. If the meter shows that power is reaching the light socket then it's likely the socket is malfunctioning and will need to be replaced.

02 - Amana Dryer Control Panel

Highly Likely
03 - Amana Dryer Touchpad and Control Panel
The dryer control panel indicator lights are part of the touchpad and control panel and cannot be replaced separately. If an control panel indicator light is not working, the entire touchpad and control panel assembly will need to be replaced.
Highly Likely
04 - Amana Dryer User Control and Display Board
The dryer control panel indicator lights are part of the user control and display board and cannot be replaced separately. If an control panel indicator light is not working, the user control and display board will need to be replaced.
Highly Likely
05 - Amana Dryer Door Switch
The dryer door switch will turn the interior light off when the door is closed and turn it back on when the door is opened. If the switch is defective, it may be unable to allow voltage to reach the light. You can use a multimeter to test the door switch for appropriate electrical continuity when actuated. If the switch doesn't provide appropriate continuity, it will need to be replaced.
Less Common
06 - Amana Dryer Light Assembly
