Amana Dishwasher Lines and Features
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
Common Amana Dishwasher Problems
- Dishwasher not starting. Amana says to confirm the unit has power and, on hardwired installs, that the breaker hasn't tripped, and to check whether control lock is on. Source: Amana - Dishwasher Not Starting or Not Operating
- 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 Madison Owners Should Know
Madison Water Utility, which supplies Madison, reports hardness of very hard, about 18-20 grains per gallon. 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.

Wisconsin has no separate appliance repair license; plumbing licensing covers appliances connected to water supply systems, including water heaters, but exempts minor repairs to appliances and repair or replacement of gas or electrical control valves and devices.

In Wisconsin, you can check a license with the Wisconsin DSPS LicensE credential lookup or report a problem to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), Bureau of Consumer Protection.
