Amana Washer Lines and Features
What a Amana Washer Technician Deals With
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
- Washer not filling. Amana says to start at the faucets and make sure both hot and cold are on, then check the inlet hoses for kinks and the inlet screens for clogs. Source: Amana - Checking the Fill Hoses if the Washer is not Filling
- 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 |
|---|---|
| HC | Top load: the hot and cold inlet hoses are connected backward. Source: Amana - Error Codes in Top Load HE Washers |
| Sud / Sd | There are too many suds, and the washer adds rinsing to clear them. Source: Amana - Error Codes in Front Load 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 |
Signs Your Amana Washer Needs a Technician

- Washer will not start or the lid or door stays locked
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

What Salem Owners Should Know
Most washer calls in Salem come down to the same handful of parts: the drain pump and filter, the lid switch or door lock, the drive belt or coupler, the inlet valve and the suspension.
Ohio has no state license for appliance repair; the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board licenses commercial contractors in plumbing, hydronics, refrigeration, HVAC and electrical, and residential contractor work is generally overseen locally.

In Ohio, you can check a license with the Ohio Department of Commerce OCILB Company Licensee Lookup or report a problem to the Ohio Attorney General, Consumer Protection Section.
