Amana Washer Repair for Owners, Renters and Landlords
We are independent and have no tie to Amana. If the washer is still inside its Amana warranty, the manufacturer should be your first call. Once that coverage has ended, include the model number and the symptom in your booking so parts can be looked up ahead of the visit.
How a Washer Repair Visit Works
Tell Us What's Wrong
Name the make, add the model number if it is handy, and describe the symptom. A picture of the label inside the door lets us check parts.
Diagnosis at Your Home
The technician tests the appliance along with its power, water, drain, gas or vent connections until the fault is confirmed.
A Price Before Work
We name the failed part and give you the cost of fixing it. Work starts only after you agree.
Repair and Check
The part is installed and the appliance is run through a cycle so you can watch it working.
Inside an Amana washer
Open up most Amana washers and you find Whirlpool's entry-level top-load design: a lid that locks during the cycle, a motor that turns the basket or the agitator depending on which way a small shifter has moved, and a separate pump for draining. When the lid lock fails, the washer stops and blinks, often right before spin. A washer that fills and then does nothing, or agitates but won't spin, points to the shifter or the drive belt. Water that won't drain usually comes down to the pump or something caught in it. Loud banging on spin, with a tub that swings freely, means worn suspension rods. Older Amanas with a traditional transmission can strip the motor coupler. For apartment and upstairs installs, we check the hoses and the drain as well as the machine.

Still have a question?
Get in touch with the brand, the symptom and, if you can find it, the model number. Some things we can answer right away; others need a technician in front of the machine.
The lid lock is either failing or not getting a proper signal that the lid is closed. We test the lock, the lid strike and the wiring before replacing anything.
An unbalanced load is the first thing to check. If small loads bang too, the rods the tub hangs from have worn their dampers and should be replaced as a set.
