Amana not pumping water out - Amana ALW480DA Top Load Washer

I would check for a missing sock or hanky etc stuck in one of the hoses. Its obviously not blocked enough to stop the machine from pumping out, but it may be slowing how fast the water comes out. Im not conversant with Amana but if its a belt drive, the belt may be slipping causing a poor spin result.

I had the same problem, not sure it was your pump, load it with a bucket of hot water and some bleach, turn it on and let it run through a short cycle, the hot water and bleach can clean the sensor and the screen in the bottom going down to the pump, did water drain out when you took the lines loose, if it did its a good sign, most people dont realize you use only a quarter or less cup of soap in this washer, it will get the sensor water sensor dirty and the washer thinks it has water when it doesnt, the pump cant drain cause there is no water, . try the hot water trick, rmember use a bucket and as hot a water as you can, probably hair sudds and who know what is blocking the sensor, mine was hair, from my little girl, Matt

You may have blockage up b4 pump need to remove hose from outer tub and clean out or pump is bad and just spinning motor you hear prop is stripped

you have a kink in your tubing test by checking at pump which is visable by taking back felt cover at bottom where water tube goes in cut a few inches away from pump to see if water flows when you activate swich if so you have a kink in your system to repair the cut they have couplings in the store

more than likely the leak is from your water pump,, tip unit back and look underneath seee if u can notice the leak,, this is repairable if its ur pump just need to contact a parts suppplier or company and get correct pump with model number hope this helps

The AMANA washer has an outer tub and a water pump. Please check these to make sure you can see where the leak is coming from and replace. Also, if your machine has a dispensing system, check all hoses for THAT system. If upon fill up the out tyub HOLDS WATER and DOES NOT Leak, then the outer tub is okay. Carefullky look at the water pump on drain.

probaly the water inlet pump behind the fridge is defective or the filters are clogged I'd change the filter first if this dosen't help i'd say change the water inlet pump

Have your husband disconnect the power and water lines, pull the washer out and tip it back so he can check the hose connections to the water drain pump in the bottom of the washer. That pump should have two hose connections. In older machines, it is entirely possible that a hose has either come loose or cracked. If the hoses appear fine, check the pump itself for possible cracks. If all looks well, check the hose clamps for tightness.
