Amana Washer Repair – Malvern, OH (NTW4516FW0)

A customer in Malvern called about their Amana washer that wouldn’t stop filling with cold water. The cold water continued even when it fills up and only stopped when you turn the water supply off. We found a failed water valve that needed replacement.

The Problem

The customer reported that cold water continues even when it fills up. It stops when you turn the water supply off. This indicated the water inlet valve was stuck in the open position and couldn’t properly shut off the water flow.

Diagnosis

The water inlet valve on this Amana NTW4516FW0 had failed internally. When a water valve gets stuck open like this, it loses the ability to stop water flow when the control board signals it to close, causing continuous filling that only stops when the supply is manually shut off.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: W11210459 — water valve
• Work performed: Installed new water valve
• Result: Issue is resolved and operation is normal

Is It Worth Repairing?

Amana washers from this era are solid, reliable machines built by Whirlpool. The NTW4516FW0 is a basic top-load model that’s straightforward to service. A water valve replacement on a machine this age typically makes good financial sense, especially since these washers can run for many more years with proper maintenance.

Maintenance Tips for Amana Washers

• Check and clean the water inlet screens monthly to prevent sediment from damaging the water valves
• Run a cleaning cycle with washer cleaner every few months to prevent buildup in the tub and components
• Leave the lid open after use to allow moisture to evaporate and prevent mold growth
