Amana Washer Lines and Features
What a Amana Washer Technician Deals With
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
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 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 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
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| F7 E1 | Front load: motor speed sensing error, so check that the shipping bolts are out and the washer isn't overloaded. Source: Amana - Error Codes in Front Load Washers |
| Sud / Sd | There are too many suds, and the washer adds rinsing to clear them. Source: Amana - Error Codes in Front Load Washers |
| 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 |

- Where the washer drains (standpipe or laundry sink)
