  • How to Fix Amana Dishwasher Error F8E1

    How to Fix Amana Dishwasher Error F8E1

    Error Code: F8E1 Difficulty: Moderate

    Problem: Slow drain.

    How to Fix F8E1 Error (Step-by-Step)

    1. First, perform a basic cleaning. Remove the bottom dish rack and unscrew the filter assembly at the bottom of the tub. Clean it thoroughly under running water.
    2. Check the drain hose for any visible kinks or blockages. It’s the corrugated hose running from the dishwasher to your sink’s plumbing.
    3. Disconnect the drain hose from the garbage disposal or sink drain and place the end in a bucket. Start a ‘Drain’ cycle to see if water pumps out forcefully. If it does, the clog is in your sink plumbing.
    4. If water flow is weak, turn off power to the dishwasher at the circuit breaker. You will need to pull the dishwasher out from under the counter to access the drain pump.
    5. Disconnect the hoses from the drain pump (Part WPW10348269) and check its inlet and outlet ports for debris.
    6. If no clogs are found, the pump motor is likely weak and needs to be replaced.
    7. After clearing a clog or replacing the pump, reinstall the dishwasher, reconnect all hoses, and run a test cycle.
    8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

    How to Fix Amana Dishwasher Error F9E1

    Error Code: F9E1 Difficulty: Hard

    Problem: Drain pump failure.

    How to Fix F9E1 Error (Step-by-Step)

    1. Disconnect the dishwasher from power at the circuit breaker and shut off the hot water supply valve under the sink.
    2. Disconnect the water supply line and drain hose from the house plumbing. You may need to unscrew mounting brackets under the countertop before sliding the dishwasher out.
    3. Carefully lay the dishwasher on its back on a soft towel to access the components underneath.
    4. The drain pump (Part W10537869) is connected to the main sump. Place a shallow pan underneath to catch any remaining water.
    5. Squeeze the hose clamps with pliers to disconnect the hoses from the pump. Unplug the electrical connector. Twist the pump, usually counter-clockwise, to release it from the sump.
    6. Install the new pump by twisting it into the sump until it locks. Reconnect the electrical harness and the hoses, securing them with the clamps.
    7. Tip the dishwasher upright, slide it back into place, reconnect water and drain lines, restore power, and run a drain cycle to check for leaks and proper function.
    8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

  • How to Fix Amana Dishwasher Error FD

    How to Fix Amana Dishwasher Error FD

    Error Code: FD Difficulty: Moderate

    Problem: Fill problem.

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

    1. Verify that the hot water supply valve under your sink is turned on completely.
    2. Pull the dishwasher out slightly and check the water supply hose for any sharp kinks or bends that could block water flow.
    3. Turn off the water supply valve. Disconnect the supply hose from the dishwasher’s inlet valve. Check the small screen inside the valve’s port for sediment and clean it with a small brush.
    4. Inside the dishwasher, locate the float assembly in the bottom of the tub. Lift the plastic float up and down to ensure it moves freely and isn’t stuck in the ‘up’ position, which would signal that the dishwasher is full.
    5. Ensure the drain hose has a ‘high loop’ (secured to the underside of the countertop) to prevent water from the sink from flowing back into the dishwasher, which can confuse the water level sensor.
    6. If these steps do not resolve the issue, the water inlet valve itself has likely failed and will need to be replaced.
    7. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
