Amana Dishwasher Lines and Features
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
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
