How Amana Dishwashers Are Built

What Amana Says to Check First
- 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
- 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
