Amana Washer Repair in Houses, Apartments and Rentals
We have no affiliation with Amana and are not one of its service centers. A washer still covered by the Amana warranty belongs with Amana first. Once it's out of coverage, give us the model number and the symptom when you book so we can look into parts ahead of time.
How a Washer Repair Visit Works
Describe the Problem
The brand, the model number if it's handy, and what the appliance is doing. A photo of the rating label is a bonus.
Diagnosis On Site
The technician tests the appliance and its power, water, drain, gas or vent until the failed part is found.
Explanation and Quote
You hear what failed and what the repair costs, then decide. Nothing starts without your OK.
Repair and Test
The part goes in, the appliance runs a cycle, and you see that it works before we leave.
What's inside an Amana washer
Most Amana washers are Whirlpool-built top-loaders with an agitator and simple controls, and some older ones are the classic direct-drive design, where a small plastic-and-rubber coupler links the motor shaft to the transmission. That coupler is a deliberate weak point: it wears or breaks so the motor and transmission are spared, and a washer that takes water and pumps it out, yet never moves the clothes, often has a broken coupler. Newer Amana top-loaders use a lid lock and a shifter. Agitator dogs wear on dual-action agitators, leaving the top section limp. In a basement laundry, a laundry tub or standpipe that drains slowly makes the washer seem to fail, so the drain gets checked too.
Parts that tend to fail on Amana washers
- Motor coupler broken on direct-drive models
- Lid switch or lock failing
- Drain pump clogged
- Agitator dogs worn
- Shifter not changing modes
Symptoms that aren't specific to one maker are covered on our washer repair page.
Amana Washer: Questions We Hear
Quick answers to what people ask most. If yours isn't here, bring it up on the phone or type it into the notes box when you book.
Something else on your mind?
Reach out with the brand, the symptom and a model number if you have one. Some questions we can answer on the spot; the rest a technician can check in person.
On older direct-drive models, the motor coupler is the usual cause. On newer ones, the shifter or lid lock may be at fault. Worn agitator dogs can also leave the top of the agitator spinning freely.
Probably not. The washer is pumping out faster than the tub drain can carry the water away. A clogged tub drain or old drain pipe is the usual cause. We check the washer's pump and hose, then point you to what needs clearing.
