Frequently Asked Questions
•How do I access the wash basket to inspect it?
You will likely need to remove the agitator or impeller first, which is typically held in place by a bolt or nut. After removing the agitator/impeller, you can usually access the wash basket by removing screws or clips located around the top edge of the tub. Use a 1/4-inch nut driver or Phillips head screwdriver.
•What is the proper water level setting for different types of clothes?
Delicate items and small loads should use the lowest water level setting. Medium loads should use a medium setting, and large or bulky items require the highest water level setting. Overfilling can cause excessive agitation and damage clothes.
•Where can I find a replacement wash basket or agitator for my Amana washer?
You can find replacement parts online at appliance parts retailers such as AppliancePartsPros.com or RepairClinic.com. Be sure to have your washer's model number handy to ensure you order the correct part. You can also try local appliance repair shops.
