How Amana Washers Are Built
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
Common Amana Washer Problems
- Washer odor. For front loaders, Amana says to clean and dry the door seal, take wet clothes out promptly, avoid overloading, and leave the door open between loads. Source: Amana - Cleaning a Front Load Washer Door Seal
- 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
Reading a Amana Washer Error Code
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| Sud / Sd | There are too many suds, and the washer adds rinsing to clear them. Source: Amana - Error Codes in Front Load Washers |
| LF / Lo FL / F8 E1 | Washer is filling too slowly or getting low water flow; check that the faucets are fully open and the hoses are clear. 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 |
Signs Your Amana Washer Needs a Technician
- Loud banging, shaking or walking during the spin
- Grinding or roaring noise that rises with spin speed
- Water on the floor under or in front of the washer
What a Washing Machine Technician Checks
Care Amana Recommends for Its Washers
- 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
- Run the Clean Washer cycle with a washer cleaning tablet about once a month to clear detergent and softener residue. Source: Amana - HE Detergent use in a Washer
Budgeting for a Amana Washer Repair
Most Amana washer repairs involve common parts and an hour or two of labor. For reference, published cost guides report:
