    How to Fix Amana Washer Error LC

    Error Code: LC Difficulty: Easy

    Problem: Control Lock Activated

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

    1. The ‘LC’ code indicates that the Control Lock or Child Lock feature has been activated, preventing any buttons from being pressed.
    2. Look for a button on your control panel that says ‘Control Lock’, ‘Lock’, or has a small padlock icon next to it.
    3. In many cases, this function is shared with another button, and you will see ‘Control Lock (Hold 3 Sec)’ printed below it.
    4. Press and hold that specific button for three to five consecutive seconds.
    5. The ‘LC’ light or code on the display should disappear.
    6. The controls are now unlocked, and you can operate the washer normally.
    7. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

  • How to Fix Amana Washer Error FILL OR SENSING LIGHT ON

    How to Fix Amana Washer Error FILL OR SENSING LIGHT ON

    Error Code: FILL OR SENSING LIGHT ON Difficulty: Hard

    Problem: Filling or Sensing

    How to Fix FILL OR SENSING LIGHT ON Error (Step-by-Step)

    1. First, ensure the water supply is on. Unplug the washer, turn off the water valves, and disconnect the inlet hoses from the back of the machine. Check the small filter screens inside the valve’s ports for any clogs and clean them.
    2. If the filters are clear, the water inlet valve itself may be faulty and need replacement. This requires removing the back panel for access.
    3. Another potential cause is a faulty lid switch. Open and close the lid to listen for a distinct ‘click’. If there is no click, or the machine won’t start, the lid switch assembly likely needs to be replaced.
    4. The fill sensor, also called the pressure switch, could be the problem. It’s typically located behind the control panel and is connected to a clear air tube.
    5. Access the control panel and inspect the air tube connected to the pressure switch. Ensure it is not kinked, cracked, or loose.
    6. If the tube is secure, the pressure switch itself may have failed and will need to be replaced by disconnecting its wire harness and the air tube.
    7. After inspecting or replacing any parts, reassemble the washer, turn on the water, and plug it in to test.
    8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

    How to Fix Amana Washer Error F7E3

    Error Code: F7E3 Difficulty: Hard

    Problem: Related to overcurrent or undercurrent from the motor, potentially due to a defective wash plate.

    How to Fix F7E3 Error (Step-by-Step)

    1. Disconnect the washer from the electrical outlet to ensure your safety.
