What to Check Next on This Amana Dishwasher Focused repair path: dishwasher fill, drain, wash motor, heating, leak, sensor, and control checks. Do not treat a returning fault as a reset-only problem; use the point in the cycle where the fault appears to choose the next check. Disconnect power before opening panels, then confirm the door latch, float, inlet valve, drain path, and harness connections are seated. Match the timing of the failure to the likely path: fill, wash circulation, drain, heat, leak detection, or control communication. Clear debris from filters, sump areas, spray arms, and the drain loop before treating the fault as a failed board. If a part is suspected, verify voltage or continuity where appropriate and match the complete Amana dishwasher model number before ordering. Check, inspect, clean, test, measure, remove, reconnect, clear, and replace parts only when the symptom supports that path. If these checks point toward a part, verify the complete Amana model number from the appliance tag before ordering. Similar error wording can use different valves, sensors, pumps, motors, heaters, locks, switches, fans, or control boards depending on the exact model. Verified Compatible Alternatives:W11613566
