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
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 cleaning. Amana lists soil left on dishes as a sign the filters need cleaning, so the filters are the first thing to clean. Source: Amana - Filter is Dirty - Dishwasher

What Fredericksburg Owners Should Know
City of Fredericksburg water system (supplied mainly from the Motts Run Water Treatment Plant on the Rappahannock River), which supplies Fredericksburg, reports hardness of 21-57 mg/L, averaging 32 mg/L (soft). Hard water leaves spots and film on glasses and builds up on dishwasher spray arms and inlet screens, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair.
