No agitation?
first use a multi meter and check ur water pressure switch? that is what sends the machine the message to start wash cycle?
You can test it with a meter and with a manual test? ( first locate it in the panel, it has a plastic clear tube hose going into it, remove that tube from its connection, now put another small tube or hose into the slot where it was and have the machine set to wash cycle with water in it. Blow into the other end of the tube.
If the machine starts to wash. the pressure switch is more than likely good
( No wash- then THE DIAPHRAGM IS BAD AND SWITCH HAS TO BE REPLACED) another test u can do is Remove the hose and submerge in water. Seal one end and blow air into the other end and look for bubbles. Check for an obstruction in the hose as well.
Or take the original hose tube and plug one end and blow into it AT the other end, it should be hard and have pressure, if it is easy to blow and u dont feel any pressure and it feels like the air is going out ?
Sometimes they get busted open or a pin hole and release air causing the water switch diaphragm to not open.
Another test u can make with a multi meter is by testing the prongs individually.
# 15,16,17 (don't worry to much bout the numbers IF U GET THEM WRONG) place ur meter prongs on both out side prongs or connectors of the switch.
(where the wire plugs into) take note of weather it shows OHMS or infinity ( open or close circuit) ? Now place the meter on the left outside and the middle prong, take note agin what it shows. Now place meter prong on the right outside and the middle prong. Agin take note what reading u get. ( you should actually get a reading of infinity in 1 and a reading of continuity or ohms in the other 2? Now the tricky part. Agin place a small tube or hose into the switch and blow into it, using the meter do the same test agin on all prongs. But now keep the pressure on the switch when u blow into it, in other words use ur tongue on one end of tube to not allow air to escape. When u test it agin now one of the prongs that once read infinity should now show continuity or ohms, and 1 of the other prongs that read ohms should now read infinity or open.

If both check ok then next CHECK the motor coupler (a bad couplercan be checked by looking under the machine and taking note if there is a black residue on floor, look at coupler located between the motor and tranny, and see if it is broken up or missing any parts? Try to turn shaft by hand and notice if it does not engage tub? )
or belt if belt driven. Check for loose, broken or worn belt .
Then check the door switch with a multi meter for continuity OHMS when door closed and infinity when door is opened , and if there is a little movement on wash cycle in 1 direction only then check the cam dogs in agitator.
ALSO CHECK THE CAM DOGS INSIDE THE AGITATOR, AS THEY WILL HINDER THE AGITATION PROCESS.
If the lights are not coming on, but you hear the pump, it could be stuck in the force drain mode. Let it run for about 2 minutes and see if it stops on it's own. If it does stop, try putting the unit into a regular cycle, if it lights up, you should be ok. If the pump does not stop, and lights are out, replace your control board. Make sure you follow recalibration instructions for machine to work properly.
If your Amana washing machine lid is locked and it seems like it's not getting power, there are several steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue. Follow these steps to identify and potentially resolve the problem:
Question edited for clarity, 'Amanda' to 'Amana'.
Question moved to maker category.
It is sensing, and that you have something that needs a 'Delicate' setting, or a 'Woollens' setting. It provides water and very little agitation that might damage or stretch the clothes. Read the manual.

Fiona, could it be that your'e using Liquid color-safe bleach as it is thicker than chlorine bleach and will not dispense properly from the chlorine bleach dispenser?
And did you Remove the inserts from the drawer. The inserts are the detergent selector and covers of the softener and bleach dispenser.. and clean and replace them?
Tis really hard not being there and being able to see the unit.
But thought I'd give you these suggestions.
Best to you.
Washer will not drain:
The drain water pump is the main part in your washing machine that pumps out the water. If this is defective or has failed in any way, this will be the reason why your washer will not drain the water. Before you order a new drain pump, make sure to check the pump to be sure a small object like clothing or similar has not lodged itself inside of it causing the NO DRAIN issue and even a no spin issue?. If the drain pump is not clogged, you can test it with a multimeter and remove and replace if needed.

The washing machine drain hose is where the water flows through to get the water out. If this drain hose is blocked, kinked, bent, or clogged, the washer will NOT be able to remove the water from the tub. Check the drain hose to be sure it allows the water to flow freely. You can take the drain hose off and run water through it in your sink to be sure it is not blocked. If there is water STILL in the washer when you remove the drain hose, grab a bucket as the water will exit from where you disconnected it
The water pump belt (to drain out the water) may have broke or become frayed or loose. If this belt breaks then it is unable to drain and remove the water from your washer. Inspect the belt to see if this is causing the NO DRAIN issue and remove and replace if needed.
If the lid switch is not working as required it will cause your washer to not drain (and many other problems). This may be unlikely as a bad lid switch will usually cause your washer to also not agitate or spin. However on some models this can vary. The best thing to do if you have a suspected bad lid switch is to test it. It can fail electrically and or mechanically. If mechanical failure is the issue, you should be able to see if it is cracked, broken, or not in place to make contact with the lid. To test it electrically, use a multimeter set on Ohms and test it for continuity
My advice is free cuz God is good!
Laundry Washer or Dishwasher?
If it is a dishwasher, it sounds like the Flood Sensor is stopping the cycle. There is a tray between the floor and the underside of the basin. If it is a Dishwasher, you just need to find the leak and fix it.
For a Laundry washer, it is a problem with the control board and needs professional diagnosis and repair.
It's possible that the loud and fast clicking noise is being caused by the driven wheel skipping, which could indicate a problem with the transmission or clutch assembly. The motor speed at spin cycle initiation could also be related to these components.
One possibility is that the clutch is worn and not engaging properly, which could cause the driven wheel to skip and make a clicking noise. Another possibility is that the transmission is worn or damaged, which could also cause these symptoms.
It's also possible that the motor speed control is malfunctioning, which could cause the motor to run at an incorrect speed during the spin cycle. This could contribute to the belt wear issue you experienced.
I would recommend contacting a professional appliance repair technician to diagnose and repair the issue, as it may require disassembly of the machine and specialized tools to properly diagnose and fix.
It sounds like there may be an issue with the remote control you are using for your Polaroid TV. If the remote is able to turn the TV on and off, but cannot change channels or scan for antenna channels, it may be a problem with the remote's programming or compatibility with the TV.
One solution to try is to reprogram the remote to work with the TV. The instructions for doing this can usually be found in the user manual for the remote or on the manufacturer's website.
If that doesn't work, you can also try using a different remote control to see if that resolves the issue. If the problem persists, it may be a problem with the TV itself and you may need to contact the manufacturer for further assistance.
Don't buy any appliances that are engineered to fail.maybe manufacturers will begin to value customers more than profit.HAHAHAHAaaa,,, almost hurt myself,,that's funny
Does it fill, stop, have a space where the wash would take place and then drain, fill, and do the rinses, but no agitation? It sounds like the motor, or the control board / control knob depending on the unknown model. You need a service call if power resetting doesn't make it work.
