What a Amana Washer Technician Deals With

Common Amana Washer Problems
- 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 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 |
|---|---|
| Sud / Sd | There are too many suds, and the washer adds rinsing to clear them. Source: Amana - Error Codes in Front Load Washers |
| Ofb | Top load: the load is unbalanced, and the washer will try to rebalance it on its own. Source: Amana - Error Codes in Top Load HE Washers |
| LdU | Top load: the lid can't unlock because something is sitting on top of the washer. Source: Amana - Error Codes in Top Load HE Washers |
