Amana Washer Lines and Features
What Makes Amana Washer Repairs Different
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
What Amana Says to Check First
- Too many suds. Amana says to use only HE detergent in the amount the detergent maker recommends for the load. Source: Amana - HE Detergent use in a Washer
