What a Amana Washer Technician Deals With
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

What a Washing Machine Technician Checks
Care Amana Recommends for Its Washers

What Riverside Owners Should Know
Riverside Public Utilities, which supplies Riverside, reports hardness of about 180-210 mg/L as CaCO3, average 197 mg/L (about 12 grains per gallon; hard). Hard water leaves scale on washer inlet screens and heating parts and calls for the right detergent dose, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair.
