    How to Fix Amana Dishwasher Error DRN

    Error Code: DRN Difficulty: Moderate

    Problem: Drain problem.

    How to Fix DRN Error (Step-by-Step)

    1. First, check for any kinks or clogs in the dishwasher’s drain hose. The drain hose is usually connected to the garbage disposal or the sink’s drainpipe.
    2. If the drain hose is connected to a garbage disposal, ensure the knockout plug has been removed from the disposal’s dishwasher inlet. This is a common issue with new garbage disposal installations.
    3. Clean the dishwasher’s filter, which is typically located at the bottom of the tub. A clogged filter can restrict water from draining properly.
    4. Inspect the drain pump for any obstructions. You may need to remove the lower access panel of the dishwasher to access the pump.
    5. If the drain hose, filter, and pump are clear, the drain pump itself may have failed and will need to be replaced.
    6. Before starting any repair, be sure to disconnect the dishwasher from both the power and water supply for your safety.
    7. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

    Problem: Indicates an issue with the appliance control unit, user interface, or associated wiring.

    How to Fix F6E2 Error (Step-by-Step)

    How to Fix Amana Dishwasher Error F6E3

    Error Code: F6E3 Difficulty: Easy

    Problem: Suds or air in the water system.

    How to Fix F6E3 Error (Step-by-Step)

    1. Immediately cancel the current cycle by pressing the ‘Cancel/Drain’ button. Allow the dishwasher to fully drain.

    5. After the cycle, check for suds. If some remain, run a second rinse cycle.
    6. Always use detergent specifically formulated for automatic dishwashers to prevent this issue from recurring.
    7. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
