What a Amana Washer Technician Deals With
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

What Manhattan Owners Should Know
New York City Department of Environmental Protection (Catskill/Delaware and Croton supplies), which supplies Manhattan, reports hardness of 16-90 mg/L as CaCO3, averaging 25 mg/L (about 1 grain per gallon; soft). Hard water leaves scale on washer inlet screens and heating parts and calls for the right detergent dose, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair.
