Amana Washer Lines and Features
What a Amana Washer Technician Deals With
Amana front loaders with a user-cleanable pump filter are serviced from the front: a short drain hose is emptied into a container, then the filter is unscrewed counterclockwise, and the location varies by model. Source: Amana - Cleaning the Pump Filter - Front Load Washer
A lid or door switch lets the washer run only when the lid is fully closed, so a bad switch can keep the washer from draining or spinning. Source: Amana - Washer Not Draining or Spinning? Troubleshooting Guide
Common Amana Washer Problems
- Too many suds. Amana says to use only HE detergent in the amount the detergent maker recommends for the load. Source: Amana - HE Detergent use in a Washer
- Washer not draining or not spinning. Amana's checks include a closed lid, a balanced and not overloaded load, excess suds from too much detergent, a kinked or clogged drain hose, and the drainpipe height. Source: Amana - Washer Not Draining or Spinning? Troubleshooting Guide
Reading a Amana Washer Error Code
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| drn | Top load: the washer isn't draining properly, sometimes because of how it was installed. Source: Amana - Error Codes in Top Load HE Washers |
| lid | Top load: the lid is open, and if it stays open for more than 10 minutes the cycle resets and drains. Source: Amana - Error Codes in Top Load HE Washers |
| LdU | Top load: the lid can't unlock because something is sitting on top of the washer. Source: Amana - Error Codes in Top Load HE Washers |
