How Amana Dishwashers Are Built
The drain hose must rise in a loop at least 20 inches above the floor, and Amana recommends an air gap when the connection sits lower. Source: Amana - Checking the Drain Loop Height
Amana's triple filter system uses a removable upper filter assembly that protects the pump and a lower filter that keeps food from recirculating, and both need periodic hand cleaning. Source: Amana - How to Clean the Dishwasher Filters
