What Makes Amana Dishwasher Repairs Different
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
What Amana Says to Check First
- Dishwasher odor. Amana says to pull and rinse the drain filter first, then run a cleaner in an empty hot cycle and make sure the drain and disposer are clear. Source: Amana - Removing Odors in your Dishwasher
- Dishwasher not filling. Amana says to make sure the water supply valve is open, the overflow float moves freely, and the drain loop is high enough to prevent siphoning. Source: Amana - Why Your Dishwasher Isn't Working
