How to Fix Amana Dishwasher Error F01
Error Code: F01 Difficulty: Moderate

Problem: Anti-flooding overflow. This indicates that the anti-flood system has been activated.

How to Fix F01 Error (Step-by-Step)
1. Press the ‘Cancel’ button to stop the cycle and disconnect the dishwasher from power at the circuit breaker.
2. Remove the bottom dish rack to get clear access to the floor of the dishwasher tub.
3. Soak up any standing water in the bottom of the dishwasher with towels.
4. Locate the float switch, which looks like a small plastic dome or cylinder in a well. Check if it moves up and down freely.
5. Clean any debris or gunk from around the float switch that might be causing it to stick in the ‘up’ position.
6. If the float moves freely and the error persists after restoring power, the float switch itself may be faulty and require testing with a multimeter and potential replacement.
7. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
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.
1. Disconnect power before opening panels, then confirm the door latch, float, inlet valve, drain path, and harness connections are seated.
2. Match the timing of the failure to the likely path: fill, wash circulation, drain, heat, leak detection, or control communication.
3. Clear debris from filters, sump areas, spray arms, and the drain loop before treating the fault as a failed board.
4. 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.

How to Fix Amana Dishwasher Error F02
Error Code: F02 Difficulty: Moderate

Problem: Water fill solenoid valve failure. The dishwasher is having a problem with the water inlet valve.

How to Fix F02 Error (Step-by-Step)
1. Turn off the water supply to the dishwasher. The valve is usually located under the kitchen sink.
2. Disconnect the dishwasher from the electrical power supply at the fuse box or circuit breaker.
3. Place a towel under the water inlet valve to catch any spills. The valve is typically located at the front right or left side, behind the lower access panel.
4. Disconnect the water line and the electrical harness from the valve.
5. Use a multimeter to test the solenoid on the valve for continuity. A reading between 500 and 1500 ohms is typical; a reading outside this range indicates a faulty valve.
6. If the test confirms the valve is bad, replace it with a new one.
7. Reconnect the water and power lines, then turn them back on and check for leaks while the dishwasher fills for a new cycle.
8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

How to Fix Amana Dishwasher Error F11
Error Code: F11 Difficulty: Hard

Problem: Wash pump failure. The main motor that circulates water is not working correctly.

How to Fix F11 Error (Step-by-Step)
1. Cut the power to the dishwasher at the main circuit breaker to ensure your safety during the repair.
2. You will likely need to pull the dishwasher out from its installed position to get to the wash pump.
3. The wash pump is a significant component located at the bottom of the dishwasher. It’s connected to several hoses.
4. Disconnect the electrical connectors and the hoses from the old wash pump. Have a bucket ready for any water that drains out.
5. Unmount the old pump. This may involve removing several screws or clips.
6. Install the new wash pump (WPW10348269, W10876537, W11612326), making sure all connections are tight and secure.
7. Slide the dishwasher back, reconnect the power, and run a full wash cycle to confirm the new pump is working correctly.
8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
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.
1. Disconnect power before opening panels, then confirm the door latch, float, inlet valve, drain path, and harness connections are seated.
2. Match the timing of the failure to the likely path: fill, wash circulation, drain, heat, leak detection, or control communication.
3. Clear debris from filters, sump areas, spray arms, and the drain loop before treating the fault as a failed board.
4. 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.
