Amana Washer Lines and Features
How Amana Washers Are Built
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
Shipping bolts hold the drum during transport and must come out after installation, or the washer will vibrate and walk. Source: Amana - Washer is Vibrating, Walking or Moving
Common Amana Washer Problems
- 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
- Washer not filling. Amana says to start at the faucets and make sure both hot and cold are on, then check the inlet hoses for kinks and the inlet screens for clogs. Source: Amana - Checking the Fill Hoses if the Washer is not Filling
What Amana Washer Codes Mean
