Amana Washer Lines and Features
What Makes Amana Washer Repairs Different
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
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 Washer Symptoms and First Checks
- 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
- Too many suds. Amana says to use only HE detergent in the amount the detergent maker recommends for the load. Source: Amana - HE Detergent use in a Washer
Reading a Amana Washer Error Code

Local Notes for Allentown
Lehigh County Authority (Allentown Division), which supplies Allentown, reports hardness of about 13 grains per gallon (hard). 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.
