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
What Amana Says to Check First
- 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
- 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
