Why does my Amana washer lid lock keep blinking?

A blinking lid lock light usually means the washer cannot confirm the lid is locked. Something may be blocking the latch, or the lock assembly may have failed. Check for obstructions first, then have the lock tested.

My washer is in a shed behind my Plaza Midwood bungalow. Will freezing weather hurt it?

It can. Water left in the hoses, pump or valve can freeze and crack them during an ice storm or cold snap. Shut the supply valves and disconnect the hoses before a hard freeze, and let us know if you see leaks afterward.

Why does water overflow from the drain standpipe behind my NoDa washer?

Older standpipes may be too short, too narrow or partly clogged for a modern washer's fast pump-out. The drain line itself is a plumbing issue, but we can confirm whether the washer's pump and hose are working correctly.

Amana Washers: What We Check First

Most Amana washers are top-loaders with either a traditional agitator or a low-profile impeller, built on Whirlpool's top-load platforms. Older models used Whirlpool's classic direct-drive design with a motor coupler, while newer ones use a belt-driven gearcase with an electronic shifter and a lid lock that holds the lid closed during spin. Controls are usually simple dials and buttons.

Lid lock failure preventing spin or stopping mid-cycle
Electronic shifter fault blocking the change from agitate to spin
Drain pump clogged with socks, coins or lint
Worn motor coupler on older direct-drive top-loaders

The full explanation, including what you can safely check yourself and when repair beats replacement, is in our Amana washer repair guide.

Laundry on Porches, in Closets and in Sheds

Washers on enclosed porches or in sheds behind NoDa and Plaza Midwood homes sit in spaces that get hot and humid in summer and cold in a winter freeze. Front-load models in those spots are prone to musty door boots and dispenser mildew, and hoses in an unheated shed can crack if water in them freezes during an ice storm.

Many of these homes sit on crawl spaces, and a washer on a porch floor framed over open air can bounce during spin. That causes balance errors and wears suspension springs and shocks. Older plumbing may also include a standpipe too short or too narrow for a modern washer's drain hose, causing overflow.

Leave the door open between loads, check the drain filter, and turn off the supply valves before a hard freeze if the washer is in an unheated space. The technician tests the pump, motor, suspension and controls and quotes the work.
