Does it fill, stop, have a space where the wash would take place and then drain, fill, and do the rinses, but no agitation? It sounds like the motor, or the control board / control knob depending on the unknown model. You need a service call if power resetting doesn't make it work.

Hi, Please use other modes to check if the issue exists. Unplug your machine for 5 minutes, plug back in and then you can retest the washer. Thank you.

check cogs under agitator if ok possible bad motor or belt

That is probably a door lock error. It could be that the door was not completely closed while running. A piece of clothing might be stuck in the doorway. The lock mechanism may have failed. It could also be that the lock position sensor didn't communicate properly with the washer control board. Note: if the error was 5d, that indicates "suds". Too much detergent was in the machine. Try running the washer with no clothing or detergent added. Please add a comment with the model number of your washer for a parts list/diagram. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

This sounds like a selctor switcwh problem. A selector switch determines which of the above mentioned cycles works. Here is some basic information: https://www.partselect.com/Washer+test-switch+repair.htm

Door won't unlock
Did all of the water drain out of the washer during the spin? Select DRAIN & SPIN to remove any water remaining in the washer. The washer door will unlock at the end of the drain.
Is the door locked and is the "Add Garment" light on? Press START/PAUSE once. The door will unlock.

There is a control sensor that senses the amount of water inside and the water level changing. it may be faulty causing it to stop on mid rinse or the control is positioned incorrectly you will need to contact the OEM with the issue as it sounds like a hardware problem

Question moved from Cars and Trucks to Amana Washing Machine category. This says it is a Call for Service special code. https://producthelp.amana.com/Laundry/Washers/Product_Info/Washer_Product_Assistance/Error_Codes_in_Front_Load_Washers This post on Fixya has two ideas https://www.fixya.com/support/t13275346-amana_washer_front_load_error_code ..

Sensor fault. Possibly blocked pipe.

It depends where you live. In the UK your 13 amp fuse is in the wall plug. In the US or Canada, your breaker is the fuse. It does have a thermal fuse, which is for overheating or strain on the motor rather than a dead short. Does an Amana washer have a fuse? If the washer overheats, the thermal fuse will blow. If the line fuse blows, the washer won't start. To determine if the thermal fuse is at fault, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the fuse does not have continuity, replace it.

Why does my washer stop mid cycle an won't restart

My Amana washer is stuck on rinse

WASHER WILL NOT RINSE: If your washer doesn't go through the washer rinse cycle, the most likely cause is the water valve. What happens is the water valve will stop letting cold water into the washer; therefore, once the washer gets to rinse it will either stop or not do anything during the whole rinse cycle. This is because when you selected your water temperature, you selected warm/cold or hot/cold. The hot water came in and you didn't notice any problems. When it got to rinse, the cold water the cold water won't come in. Therefore, the washer does nothing. To check the water valve, first cut the water off and remove the hoses off the back of the washer. Then one at a time point the hoses inside the washer tub and turn the water back on. If you don't have good water pressure, turn the water back off and remove the strainer that should be in one end of the hose. Inspect the strainer to see if it is stopped up, clean it and reinstall it. Now repeat this test. If you have good water pressure now, reinstall hose and your problem is fixed. If you still don't have good water pressure, the problem is in your house plumbing and you need to call a plumber. If you had good water pressure the first time you performed the test, the water valve is bad and needs replacing. TIMER If your washer doesn't go through the washer rinse cycle the timer may be the problem. Sometimes the timer gets stuck in the middle of the cycle or won't turn at all. If the washer runs, but the timer doesn't turn, the timer is bad and needs replacing. Do you have anti-flood hoses leading to the machine. If you do there is probably a loose tube in the back causing a small leak. When the hoses detect that water is still flowing after a certain amount of time due to the leak it shuts down and causes the machine to turn off during the rinse/spin cycle
