Know Your Amana Dishwasher
How Amana Dishwashers Are Built
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
Drying relies on a heated dry option, and a working element leaves the tub warm and steamy when the door is opened after the cycle. Source: Amana - Dishes Not Drying: Quick Fix Guide
What Amana Says to Check First
- Dishwasher not draining. Amana says to cut power and water, remove standing water, clean the filters and sump, then check the drain hose for kinks, a missing high loop, a clogged air gap, or an unremoved disposer knockout plug. Source: Amana - Dishwasher Not Draining
- 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

What to Have Ready for a Amana Dishwasher Call
- Whether the dishwasher drains into a garbage disposal or straight to the sink drain

- What happens during the cycle (no start, no fill, no drain, leaks, dirty or wet dishes)
What Austin Owners Should Know
Most dishwasher calls in Austin come down to the same handful of parts: the filter and drain path, the drain pump, the inlet valve, the door latch and the heating parts.
Minnesota has no state license for mechanical contractors or their workers; businesses contracting for gas, heating, cooling or refrigeration work file a mechanical contractor bond with the Department of Labor and Industry, and some cities require their own licenses or competency cards.

In Minnesota, you can check a license with the DLI License and Registration Lookup or report a problem to the Minnesota Attorney General's Office, Consumer Assistance.

- Do you also handle the water supply and drain connections, or should I call a plumber for those?
