Frequently Asked Questions
•How do I access the diagnostic mode on my Amana washer?
The diagnostic mode sequence varies by model. Generally, it involves a combination of button presses, often including the Start/Pause and Cycle Select buttons. Consult your owner's manual or a service manual for the specific sequence for your model number.
•What is the correct water level for a heavy load in my Amana washer?
The water level should be sufficient to fully submerge the clothes, but not excessively high. Typically, the water should be a few inches above the top of the load. If you have an automatic water level sensor, it should adjust automatically. If not, adjust manually to cover the load.
•How do I remove the wash plate or agitator on my Amana washer?
Typically, there is a cap or cover on top of the wash plate or agitator that needs to be removed. Underneath, there is usually a bolt or nut that secures the component. Remove the bolt/nut and then lift the wash plate/agitator straight up. Sometimes they can be difficult to remove due to buildup so you may need to use a plastic mallet to tap upwards.
