  • How to Fix Amana Washer Error F21

    How to Fix Amana Washer Error F21

    Error Code: F21 Difficulty: Moderate

    Problem: Long Drain

    How to Fix F21 Error (Step-by-Step)

    1. Check the washer’s drain hose for any clogs or kinks. Ensure it is not sealed into the house standpipe, as it needs an air gap to drain properly.
    2. Unplug the washer. Prepare for water to spill by placing towels and a shallow pan on the floor.
    3. Most Amana front-loaders have a small access door at the bottom-front of the machine. Open it to find the drain pump filter cap.
    4. Slowly twist the cap counter-clockwise to drain the remaining water into your pan. Once drained, fully remove the cap.
    5. Clean out any debris from the filter, such as lint, coins, or buttons. Also, check inside the pump housing for any obstructions.
    6. If the filter is clear and the washer still won’t drain, the drain pump is likely defective and needs to be replaced.
    7. Disconnect the hoses and electrical connector from the old pump, remove it, and install the new one, then reassemble.
    8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

    How to Fix Amana Washer Error F20

    Error Code: F20 Difficulty: Moderate

    Problem: No Water Detected

    How to Fix F20 Error (Step-by-Step)

    1. First, ensure the water supply faucets behind the washer are turned on completely.
    2. Check the water inlet hoses for any kinks or twists that could block water flow. Straighten them if necessary.
    3. Unplug the washer and turn off the water faucets. Unscrew the hoses from the back of the machine.
    4. Inside the connection ports on the washer, you will find small filter screens. Use pliers to gently pull them out and clean any sediment or debris under a faucet. Reinstall them.
    5. If the screens are clean and the problem continues, the water inlet valve is likely faulty. Remove the washer’s back or top panel to access it.
    6. Take a photo of the electrical connectors and hoses attached to the valve.
    7. Disconnect the wires and hoses, remove the mounting screws, and install the new valve. Reconnect everything and turn the water and power back on.
    8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
