What a Washing Machine Technician Checks
Care Amana Recommends for Its Washers
- With the water supply turned off, check the inlet screens on the water valve and brush them clean with mild soapy water, leaving the screens in place. Source: Amana - Checking the Fill Hoses if the Washer is not Filling
- Use only HE detergent, dosed for the load size and soil level, because too much causes oversudsing, longer cycles and poor rinsing. Source: Amana - HE Detergent use in a Washer
