Sounds like a timmer to me.. got a couple bad cycles too bad its the main cycle

The agitator will just pop off with enough working with it. There are no screws that hold it in place. Just some slight prying and some wiggling and it will come off. They are on there pretty solid so just work with it

I had the same issue last year on y lwa50aw. It is the timer. Get the speedqueen version it is about $50 -$80 and aboyt 15 minutes to replace.

this is a no drain error or slow drain issue you need to check for anything that would or is restricting the water from draining out of the tub.
if the water will not srin then you can use a wet dry shop vac and attach it to the end of the drain hose to remove the water.
then check all your hose to and from the drain pump

Probable gear box fault Regards Engineer

the machine is nknown to have bad main seals, in turn leading to the corrosion of the spin bearing, in which case makes it sound as if a helicopter is landing in your laundry room

you need to get the front off... grap a light and get down and look inside to find out whats leaking... with out looking its just guessing check all water hose connections, water pump, and main seal where transmission goes thu drum

Remove the front panel, two screws on bottom. On the bottom of the motor is a white colored pump, if the water is coming from there you need to replace the pump. you can find this part on line, just google Amana washer parts.

Let me know ifyou have any more questions.

Take front of washer .. get light and look for leak and listen to find out where noise is comeing from

The pull at the bottom of transmission should turn both ways.. one way for spin the other way for agitate... if transmission turns both ways means not locked up and probley bad motor..
