What Amana Says to Check First

- 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
Reading a Amana Washer Error Code
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| Sud / Sd | There are too many suds, and the washer adds rinsing to clear them. Source: Amana - Error Codes in Front Load 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 |
| lid | Top load: the lid is open, and if it stays open for more than 10 minutes the cycle resets and drains. Source: Amana - Error Codes in Top Load HE Washers |
