- 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

No separate Vermont appliance repair license was identified, but anyone who installs, inspects or services natural gas or propane systems, including appliances, must hold a gas certification from the Division of Fire Safety. Source: Vermont Division of Fire Safety: Natural and LP Gas Certifications
In Vermont, you can check a license with the DFS Licensing MasterList (Vermont Open Data: licensed electricians, plumbers and gas certifications) or report a problem to the Vermont Attorney General's Office, Consumer Assistance Program.
