Know Your Amana Washer
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
Amana gives a drainpipe height range of 30 inches minimum to 96 inches maximum, and above the maximum, water can flow back into the washer. Source: Amana - Washer Not Draining or Spinning? Troubleshooting Guide
What Amana Says to Check First
- 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
- 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
Amana Washer Error Codes
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| Ofb | Top load: the load is unbalanced, and the washer will try to rebalance it on its own. 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
