My amanda washing machine

Is there an error code? Search error code online.
Any machine lights on? If not check that there is power and check the circuit box to see if it tripped.

Read a post from someone else on this - turned out it works fine, just wouldn't work with the small wet load. I added towels to the bath mat load, washed them, it spins fine. Washed clothes & that worked fine too. Yay!! Not broken. Just not found of small loads of bath mats!

tub was out of balance remove some of the heavier clothing and re spin! and in the future donlt try to run so much through it that are heavier items when they are wet

Sounds like you need a new drive belt.

check cold water flow....washers use cold to clean...may have a water prob....also be sure unit is spinning and may want to try less soap

the inlet filter is probably clogged restricted and/or inhibited flow of water into your machine.
These things happen, and cleaning out the filter is a good first step to finding the problem.

If the cycle does not stop draining that is usually because of a faulty membrane switch that controls the water level in your appliance.
The faulty sensor cause the machine to think that there is still water inside, even when water has drained completely.

I find that I need to be extra gentle or it won't lock.  Try that.
