We responded to a washer repair call in Canton, OH for an Amana NTW4605EW0 that wasn’t working properly. The customer reported the sensor not working properly — the machine would start washing but continues filling. What we found was a SUDS error that needed clearing and calibration.
The Problem
The customer called because their Amana washer’s sensor was not working properly. The machine would start the wash cycle but would continue filling with water instead of stopping at the proper level.
Diagnosis
When we arrived, the machine had an error for SUDS displayed. This error can prevent the washer from operating through its normal cycle, including proper water level sensing and fill control.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: No parts needed
- Work performed: Cleared SUDS error, calibrated machine, ran auto test
- Result: Machine is working properly
Is It Worth Repairing?
Amana washers are generally reliable mid-range machines that can provide good service life when properly maintained. This particular repair required no parts replacement — just clearing an error code and recalibrating the system. For a washer of this age and brand, this type of service repair is typically very cost-effective.
Maintenance Tips for Amana Washers
- Use the correct amount of HE detergent to prevent excessive suds that can trigger error codes
- Run a monthly cleaning cycle with washer cleaner to prevent buildup in the tub and sensors
- Leave the lid open after cycles to allow moisture to evaporate and prevent mold growth
