Common Amana Washer Problems
- Washer shaking or walking. Amana says to spread the load evenly, make sure the shipping bolts were removed, and adjust the feet until all four touch the floor and the washer doesn't rock. Source: Amana - Washer is Vibrating, Walking or Moving
- 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 |
|---|---|
| LdL | Top load: the lid can't lock, often because of an item under the lid or detergent buildup at the lock. Source: Amana - Error Codes in Top Load HE Washers |
| OL | Top load: the load is too big, so the washer drains and some items need to come out. Source: Amana - Error Codes in Top Load HE Washers |
| Sud / Sd | There are too many suds, and the washer adds rinsing to clear them. Source: Amana - Error Codes in Front Load Washers |

What a Washing Machine Technician Checks
Owner Care for Amana Washers
- With the water supply turned off, check the inlet screens on the water valve and brush them clean with mild soapy water, leaving the screens in place. Source: Amana - Checking the Fill Hoses if the Washer is not Filling
- Use only HE detergent, dosed for the load size and soil level, because too much causes oversudsing, longer cycles and poor rinsing. Source: Amana - HE Detergent use in a Washer
