Amana Washer Repair – Homeworth, OH (NTW4516FW3)

A customer in Homeworth called about their Amana washer that was making a humming sound and couldn’t start the spin cycle after washing rugs. The machine had worked fine before, but something went wrong during an extra rinse cycle, leaving water standing in the tub.

The Problem

The customer reported washing rugs as they had done before and wanted to do an extra rinse after the wash cycle was done. When they set it to rinse again, something malfunctioned in the spin cycle — it just made a humming sound like it couldn’t start. They scooped out most of the water and unplugged numerous times to retry, but the problem persisted.

Diagnosis

During our inspection of this Amana washer, we discovered the drain hose was plugged with rubber matting from the bottom of the rugs. This blockage prevented proper drainage, causing the spin cycle to fail as the machine couldn’t detect that water had been removed from the tub.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: None required
• Work performed: Cleared rubber matting from drain hose
• Result: Washer operating correctly after clearing blockage

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Amana NTW4516FW3 is a solid mid-range top-load washer that’s built to handle regular family loads. Since this repair required no parts and was simply a matter of clearing a drain blockage, it was definitely worth fixing. These machines typically provide years of reliable service when properly maintained.

Maintenance Tips for Amana Washers

• Check pockets thoroughly before washing — coins, tissues, and small items can cause drain blockages
• Use HE detergent in proper amounts to prevent excess suds that can interfere with drainage
• Leave the lid open after use to allow the tub to air dry and prevent mold growth
