Amana Washer; Dryer Repair – Canton, OH (NTW4516FW1, NED4655EW1)

A Canton homeowner called about their Amana washer getting to the wash cycle but then stopping with a green blinking light. We diagnosed the issue and replaced the faulty lid switch to restore normal operation.

The Problem

The customer reported that their top load Amana washer gets to the wash cycle but then stops and has a green blinking light. They also mentioned their dryer’s knob stopped turning as the load continues, and the lint trap barely catches any lint, suspecting the vent hose is backed up with lint.

Diagnosis

Our inspection revealed a defective lid switch on the washer. When the lid switch fails, it prevents the washer from continuing its cycle as a safety feature, causing the unit to stop mid-cycle with error indicators.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: W11307244 — lid switch latch
• Work performed: Replaced the lid switch on the washer
• Result: Washer now completes full wash cycles without stopping

Is It Worth Repairing?

Amana washers and dryers are reliable mid-range appliances that typically provide good service life. A lid switch replacement is a straightforward repair that extends the washer’s usable life significantly. For appliances of this age and quality level, this type of repair makes economic sense.

Maintenance Tips for Amana Washers

• Keep the lid and lid switch area clean and free of debris that could interfere with proper closing
• Don’t slam the lid — gentle closing prevents premature switch wear
• Check that the lid aligns properly with the latch to ensure the switch engages correctly
