SOURCE: amana tandem 7300 stopped ,door is locked wash
Door won't unlock
Did all of the water drain out of the washer during the spin?
Select DRAIN & SPIN to remove any water remaining in the washer. The washer door will unlock at the end of the drain.
Is the door locked and is the "Add Garment" light on?
Press START/PAUSE once. The door will unlock.
I have the same problem with my 7300. The grey material is actually the door gasket being rubbed and abraded away. Mine finally wore through the gasket entirely and had to be replaced. I have yet to find out why, or find anyone who knows why.
SOURCE: I have a Amana tandem 7300 it starts beeping and stops working
It is
possible that the machine does not start off the cycle because there are errors
due to feedback from the inputs. For the program to start up the main program
controller must initiate the INLET/MOTOR/DRAIN
pump/ valve to open up and allow each function to be driven starting from
the flow of water into the drum as also the drain valve to open to exit the
water at the point of the program cycle. If this does not happen then the
voltage at the valve/motor/pump must be checked or the fault relates to no
voltage from the controller. This means
the controller is a suspect. If the
water flows though the inlet then the flow pressure should be good, if not the
inlet valve is bad or there is dirt in the filter. Also check the flow at the
inlet of the water line. Once the water comes into the system the WATER LEVEL
SENSOR - normally a pressure switch- must activate at the preset/chosen level
to give the signal to the program controller to switch on the motor. What is
most important for the motor to start functioning is that the door switch must
be ON when the door is shut or this will be an error for starting the motor for
rinse and wash. Check this
link to replace the inlet valve: Finally
after the wash the drain valve will be activated, the water is allowed to come
in to rinse and then finally the dry spin with the drain valve/pump activated
so as to drain off all the water from the clothes during the spin. Make sure
that a fault in any of the cycle will relate to the specified action, so check
the command from the program module and then the executing device be it the
valve or motor or pump. Please check the link below: http://www.repairclinic.com/Washing-Machine-Troubleshooting?red=Washing-Machine-Repair-Help
The only reset is to unplug the machine from power for about 5 min's and if that fails you may need to replace the washer timer control board.
