How Amana Washers Are Built

Common Amana Washer Problems
- Lid won't lock or unlock. Amana says to clear anything caught under the lid and any detergent buildup around the lock, and to take items such as a laundry basket off the top of the washer. Source: Amana - Error Codes in Top Load HE Washers
- 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
