My amana front loader wont drain or spin

No spin, or lite spin try these: Using a multi meter check for continuity the door switch, which when bad may not allow agitation or spin. The lid switch assembly can fail either mechanically or electrically. Check the clutch, brake assembly and transmission, one way to check for slipping is to get under the machine after a spin cycle ( this is if u get a lil spin but not much leaving clothes still wet) mix in a spray bottle a lil water and some dish detergent, then spray it on the clutch assembly ( the metal round pc. Connected to the tranny) if it sizzles and steams up then u know its bad and slipping. Another way to check clutch if u get no spin at all? Is to take it out and use ur hand to try and turn the inner spring assembly pushing it around the inside? If its very easy, it BAD should be hard to push by hand. Next check the motor coupler which engages the tub and tranny to the motor. ( if its bad u usually get no wash or spin or very little of either) Next check for a loose, worn or broken belt if belt driven. On some front load models u may need to check the STATOR assembly. The stator is essentially one half of a motor, it interacts with the tub by creating a strong electro-magnet. If the stator burns out the washer won't spin or agitate. Check the stator for continuity. This part is often misdiagnosed. Sometimes a no spin machine can be due to a plugged waterpump hose or obstructed water pump propeller. Check these by eye and hand.

Washer does not drain

Washer will not drain: Thedrain water pumpis 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 tocheck the pump to be sure a small object like clothing or similar has not lodged itself insideof it causing the NO DRAIN issue. If the drain pump is not clogged, you can test it with a multimeter and remove and replace if needed. Go to Google or YouTube and search for "Replace Washing Machine Drain Pump" then type your brand and model number of washer to show you details on replacement. Read more:http://removeandreplace.com/2014/10/30/fix-washing-machine-that-wont-drain-washer-not-draining-water/#ixzz3X2LbXMWJ The washing machinedrain hoseis 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 waterfrom 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 Thewater 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 theNO DRAINissue and remove and replace if needed. Go to Google or YouTube and search for " If thelid switchis 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 alsonot 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 Amana Front Loader sounds like a pachinko machine intermittently, and leaks water

you could have something hung up between the inner and outer tubs. A lot of times, a underwire out of a bra will get hung up between the tubs and can cause a hole in the outer tub. If the unit is over 5 years old and you have to replace the tubs, it's not worth fixing

Why does my amana front load washer hums and has a red blinking door locked light when I plug it in

The humming is coming from the motor. Sounds like the unit has overheated or sensed an electrical failure. The light indicates the same. It's either the door lock, iser interface or motor board. Call a qualified professional to fix this.

Amana lwa40aw noise during spin cycle

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.

My Amana works fine. Then when it gets to rinse it won't advance and the rinse just keeps blinking

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.

My Amana top load washer fills & drains but doesn't wash?

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.
