Steps for Replacing the Belt
Tools needed:
Nut driver or socket set.
Torex screw driver.
1. Unplug the power cord from the
electric socket and
remove the
front panel.
2. Disconnect the power coupling
from the motor.
3. Disconnect the 2 hoses from the
pump. Be aware that the pump
still contains
between 1 and
2 cups of water,
and it WILL
all come out.
4. Remove the belt from the idler
arm, pushing the
belt UNDER the
idler arm. Yes, your hands will
now be quite
greasy.
5. Remove the belt from the main
transmission by
pushing the belt
under the
transmission pulley.
6. Remove the 4 bolts that hold the
motor assembly to
the washing
machine body. Remove the motor
assembly with belt
from the
washing
machine.
7. Turn the motor upside-down. With
the torex
screwdriver, remove the
3 bolts that hold
the pump to the
motor. Remove the pump from the
motor (in my case,
the motor shaft
fit into a slot in
the pump; while
it was snug, it was
not melted or
rusted, and did
just come out).
8. Clean pump and motor as desired.
9. Install new belt and reverse the
steps to
re-install.
SOURCE: AMANA WASHER WON'T SPIN. HOW DO I REPLACE THE BELT?
is this a whirlpool built amana? if so, its most likely a direct drive model, and when it doesn`t spin its likely a coupling between the gearcase and motor assembly...youtube has videos on how its replaced, which isn`t too complicated to do...good luck

I have this same model and although I'm not sure what your problem could be, I do know how to remove the agitator. Get a new repair guy because you just pull up on the agitator to remove it. It is just pressed onto a cogged drive at the bottom. I read on the Internet somewhere that if you do lots of heavy loads, the agitator can slip on the metal cogged drive. So I would suggest that you pull straight up on the agitator and clean off the cogged drive and inspect the underside of the agitator to see if the corresponding grooves are worn down from slipping. You might run a cycle with the agitator out and see if the cogged drive is turning.

actually sounds like fabric softener residue with dirt mixed in...it's almost like a wax if thats it. probably just have to clean it regularly..good luck! :)

Ifi t does not spin it may be the timer. Try it in the delicate cycle to see what happens. Actually try all teh cycles to see if it spins in one of them. IF so it most likely is the time and is a 15minute job to replace.
