Know Your Amana Washer
How Amana Washers Are Built
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
Common Amana Washer Problems
- 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
- 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
What Amana Washer Codes Mean
| 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 |
| F7 E1 | Front load: motor speed sensing error, so check that the shipping bolts are out and the washer isn't overloaded. Source: Amana - Error Codes in Front Load Washers |
| LF / Lo FL / F8 E1 | Washer is filling too slowly or getting low water flow; check that the faucets are fully open and the hoses are clear. Source: Amana - Error Codes in Top Load HE Washers |
Amana Washer Problems Worth a Service Call
- Grinding or roaring noise that rises with spin speed
- Musty or mildew smell from the drum or door seal
- Loud banging, shaking or walking during the spin
What a Washing Machine Technician Checks
Care Amana Recommends for Its Washers
- Run the Clean Washer cycle with a washer cleaning tablet about once a month to clear detergent and softener residue. Source: Amana - HE Detergent use in a Washer
- Use only HE detergent, dosed for the load size and soil level, because too much causes oversudsing, longer cycles and poor rinsing. Source: Amana - HE Detergent use in a Washer

Local Notes for Glendale
Most washer calls in Glendale come down to the same handful of parts: the drain pump and filter, the lid switch or door lock, the drive belt or coupler, the inlet valve and the suspension.
Wisconsin has no separate appliance repair license; plumbing licensing covers appliances connected to water supply systems, including water heaters, but exempts minor repairs to appliances and repair or replacement of gas or electrical control valves and devices.

In Wisconsin, you can check a license with the Wisconsin DSPS LicensE credential lookup or report a problem to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), Bureau of Consumer Protection.
