Amana NGD4655EW4 laundry, residential, gas dryer Parts

To reset your Amana gas dryer model NGD4655EW4, we recommend a simple power reset: turn the dryer off, unplug it (or switch off the breaker) for 5 to 10 minutes, then restore power and start a cycle. This clears many minor control glitches.

Quick reset steps (most common)

• Turn the cycle selector to Off.
• Unplug the dryer from the wall outlet (or turn off the circuit breaker).
• Wait 5 to 10 minutes.
• Restore power.
• Select a timed dry cycle and press Start.

If the dryer still will not start after a reset

A “reset” will not fix a failed safety device or a no-heat condition. Check these common causes next:

• Door not fully closed or a worn latch; inspect the door catch and strike.
• Thermal cut-off or fuse opened from overheating; check venting and consider replacing the dryer thermal cut-off fuse kit W11050897.
• No ignition/no heat on a gas dryer; the igniter or flame sensing circuit can be involved.
• Poor airflow from a crushed vent hose or clogged duct; overheating can stop the burner.
• Motor issue if you hear humming but the drum will not turn.

What the reset does (and does not do)

Action	What it helps	What it will not fix
Power reset (unplug 5 to 10 minutes)	Control board glitches, stuck cycle logic	Blown thermal fuse, failed igniter, broken belt
Cleaning venting	Overheating shutdowns, long dry times	Electrical control failures

Why it matters

On NGD4655EW4, overheating and airflow restrictions are common reasons a dryer seems “stuck” or stops heating. Resetting power is a good first step, but correcting airflow and replacing failed safety parts prevents repeat shutdowns.

For the Amana gas dryer model NGD4655EW4, the correct drum belt is belt 341241 (manufacturer part number W10131364). If your dryer drum is not turning or you hear squealing, replacing the belt is a common fix.

How to confirm you are ordering the right belt

Before ordering, we recommend matching these details to your dryer and symptoms:

• Model number on the dryer label: NGD4655EW4
• Part type: drum drive belt
• Common symptoms: drum will not tumble, burning rubber smell, thumping from a loose belt
• Belt identifiers: 341241 (part ID) and W10131364 (manufacturer part number)

Part reference: Belt 341241

What to check while you have the dryer open

A worn belt often happens along with wear in other drum support parts. If you are already doing a teardown, these checks help prevent repeat repairs:

• Spin the idler pulley by hand; it should turn smoothly without wobble
• Check drum support rollers for flat spots or noise
• Inspect the blower wheel for cracks or looseness
• Vacuum lint from the cabinet and blower housing to improve airflow

Common “belt-related” parts (quick comparison)

What you notice	Likely area to inspect	Example part for NGD4655EW4
Drum will not turn, motor runs	Belt broken or off pulley	Belt 341241 (W10131364)
Squealing or chirping	Idler pulley or rollers	Dryer idler pulley WP691366
Rattling or vibration	Blower wheel loose or damaged	Dryer blower wheel WP694089

Why it matters

A slipping or broken belt can stop tumbling, which leads to long dry times and overheating risk. Replacing the correct belt for NGD4655EW4 restores proper drum speed and helps the dryer heat and vent as designed.

Wrinkle prevent on an Amana dryer like model NGD4655EW4 is an option that keeps clothes from sitting still after the cycle ends by periodically tumbling the drum (usually with little or no heat). This reduces wrinkles when you cannot unload right away.

How it works

After the selected drying cycle finishes, the dryer intermittently tumbles the load for a set period of time. That movement helps keep fabrics from settling into creases.

Typical wrinkle-prevent behavior includes:

• Short tumble bursts separated by pauses
• No added heat, or very low heat depending on the cycle and settings
• The option ending automatically after its timed period
• The door opening or pressing a control typically stopping the option

When to use it (and when not to)

Wrinkle prevent is most helpful for everyday loads that wrinkle easily.

Use it for:

• Cotton shirts, jeans, and mixed loads
• Loads you cannot remove immediately
• “Permanent press” type fabrics

Skip it for:

• Delicates that can stretch with extra tumbling
• Items that should be removed promptly (athletic wear, some synthetics)
• Very small loads (they can still wrinkle if bunched up)

Quick troubleshooting if it is not helping

Wrinkle prevent reduces wrinkles, but it cannot overcome airflow or heat problems.

Check these common causes first:

• Overloading the drum (clothes cannot tumble freely)
• Overdrying (choose a lower dryness level or shorter timed dry)
• Restricted venting (long dry times and more wrinkles)
• Weak tumbling action from a worn belt 341241

What to expect (simple comparison)

Setting/behavior	What you will notice	Best for
Wrinkle prevent OFF	Cycle ends; clothes sit still	When you unload right away
Wrinkle prevent ON	Drum tumbles occasionally after cycle	When unloading is delayed

Why it matters

Wrinkle prevent helps you avoid re-drying or re-ironing by keeping warm fabrics moving as they cool down. It is a convenience feature that supports better fabric care and more consistent results.
