Amana Washer Repair – Canton, OH (Tandem)

A Canton homeowner called when their Amana Tandem washer wouldn’t spin. We found a plugged filter at the drain pump preventing proper drainage and spin cycle operation.

The Problem

The customer reported their washer won’t spin. The unit would fill and agitate normally but failed to complete the spin cycle, leaving clothes soaking wet.

Diagnosis

Our inspection revealed the filter was plugged at drain pump. When the drain pump filter becomes clogged, water cannot drain properly from the tub, which prevents the washer from entering the spin cycle as a safety feature.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: No parts required
• Work performed: Cleared drain pump filter
• Result: Functions correctly after clearing drain

Is It Worth Repairing?

Amana washers are typically reliable machines that can last 10-15 years with proper maintenance. The Tandem series was known for solid construction. A simple filter cleaning like this repair makes perfect sense economically and keeps your washer running for years to come.

Maintenance Tips for Amana Washers

• Check and clean the drain pump filter every 3-6 months to prevent clogs
• Run a hot water cycle with washing machine cleaner monthly to prevent buildup
• Leave the lid open after use to allow moisture to evaporate and prevent mold
