Amana Washer Lines and Features
What Makes Amana Washer Repairs Different
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 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
- 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 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
What Amana Washer Codes Mean
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| LF / Lo FL / F8 E1 | Washer is filling too slowly or getting low water flow; check that the faucets are fully open and the hoses are clear. Source: Amana - Error Codes in Top Load HE Washers |
| F9 E1 | Front load: draining is taking longer than expected, so check the drain hose and standpipe. Source: Amana - Error Codes in Front Load Washers |
