How Amana Washers Are Built
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
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
Amana Washer Symptoms and First Checks
- 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 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
