How Amana Washers Are Built
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 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 odor. For front loaders, Amana says to clean and dry the door seal, take wet clothes out promptly, avoid overloading, and leave the door open between loads. Source: Amana - Cleaning a Front Load Washer Door Seal
- 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
