TROUBLESHOOTING
First try the solutions suggested here or visit our website at www.amana.com/help
If you experience
Washer not performing as expected (cont.)
Washer not draining/
spinning, loads are
still wet, or spin light
remains on (indicating
that the washer was
unable to pump out
water within
10 minutes)
Dry spots on load
after cycle
Incorrect or wrong
wash or rinse
temperatures
Load not rinsed
14
for assistance and to possibly avoid a service call.
Possible causes
Empty pockets and use garment
bags for small items.
Using a cycle with a low spin speed.
The washer may be tightly packed or
unbalanced.
Check plumbing for correct
drain hose installation. Drain hose
extends into standpipe farther than
4.5" (114 mm).
Too much detergent causing suds to
slow or stop draining and spinning.
High speed spins extract more
moisture than traditional top-load
washers.
Check for proper water supply.
Energy-saving controlled
wash temperatures.
Check for proper water supply.
Not using HE detergent or using too
much HE detergent.
Washer may be tightly packed.
Small items may have been caught in pump or between basket
and tub, which can slow draining.
Cycles with lower spin speeds remove less water than cycles
with high spin speeds. Use the recommended cycle/speed spin
for your garment. To remove extra water in the load, select
Drain & Spin. Load may need to be rearranged to allow even
distribution of the load in the basket.
Tightly packed or unbalanced loads may not allow the washer
to spin correctly, leaving the load wetter than normal. Evenly
arrange the wet load for balanced spinning. Select the Drain &
Spin cycle to remove excess water. See "Using Your Washer"
for loading recommendations.
Check drain hose for proper installation. Use drain hose form
and securely attach to drainpipe or tub. Do not tape over drain
opening. Lower drain hose if the end is higher than 96" (2.4 m)
above the floor. Remove any clogs from drain hose.
Use only HE detergent. Always measure and follow detergent
directions for your load. To remove extra suds, select RINSE &
SPIN. Do not add detergent.
The high spin speeds combined with airflow during the final
spin can cause items near the top of the load to develop dry
spots during the final spin. This is normal.
Make sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed.
Both hoses must be attached to both washer and faucet, and
have both hot and cold water flowing to inlet valve.
Check that inlet valve screens are not clogged.
Remove any kinks in hoses.

ENERGY STAR

qualified washers use cooler wash and rinse
®
water temperatures than traditional top-load washers. This
includes cooler hot and warm washes.
Make sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed.
Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to the
inlet valve.
Both hot and cold water faucets must be on.
Inlet valve screens on washer may be clogged.
Remove any kinks in the inlet hose.
The suds from regular detergent can keep washer from
operating correctly.
Use only HE detergent. Be sure to measure correctly.
Always measure detergent and follow detergent directions
based on load size and soil level.
The washer is less efficient at rinsing when tightly packed.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. Do
not load garments directly over the center of the washplate.
Add only 1 or 2 garments after washer has started.
