Why would my Amana washer not do anything but fill up with water. Nothing will function at all on all the cycles but the fill. It doesn't even click on the timer when you try to set to any setting except fill. The timer also will not move passed the fill cycle
Hi Kirby
First... Caution
Because your dealing with water & electricity it can be lethal to fiddle around inside. That said...
Washing machines are controlled by a master timer unit, usually mechanical, but rotated by an AC Clock motor. If the timer is not getting voltages to the various Switches around the "timer unit" or "clock motor" then the individual selected functions won't work.
Manually Rotating to a particular function then Activating the On/Off Push/Pull switch should start things happening even if timer motor is dead. So
If your OK with AC electrical goods then open it up.
Connection wires may have fallen off or something simple. A multimeter is your best friend here. Look for the big rotary clock behind the main control dial. Listen for the clock motor running. The main Push in & out Button is the On / Off switch. Check that its got AC on the input wire & switches across to the other wire when the knob is pushed in / out. This may be the problem...
You can always call an appliance repair technician!
Good Luck

loks as if its been amonth since this post, but i would chek your cold water supply, common problem
SOURCE: amana washer only works on delicate cycle
Open the control panel. Unplug the timer and then plug it back in good and firm.
If it does not work correctly after that,
Replace your timer.

HI, this timer is faulty and, these are early warning signs of potential failuer of this device in the near future. i would prepare to replace the timer control soon. the actual mechanism is showing signs of breakdown.

Just a Further thought. You said "The timer also will not move passed the fill cycle"
Just a Further thought. You said "The timer also will not move passed the fill cycle" To move past the fill cycle the machine needs feedback from the water level sensor to tell the timer to continue when there is enough water. The sensor is often based on pressure coming down a small flexible pipe to the actual sensor device. try disconnecting the flex pipe at the tub & blow down it. Check that its clear & that it actuates the sensor switch. You can also jumper the switch to simulate a full tub. Hope this helps.... at least it's a starting point.
