My front loading Amana washing machine pulled nd part way through the rinse cycle. Not always, but often. Spent the afternoon and evening pulling it apart checking for clogs, tested the pump. Put it back together it worked one load (the towels from mopping up). I put a load of clothes in and then same problem the next load. Got part way through the rinse cycle and then got the nd (not draining) error. We got a reading on the pump. Could the pump be going out like car parts do and working intermittently? And that’s why I did get a good reading but it only seems to work half the time?

SOURCE: Doesn't spin the clothes dry on the final spin but spins at high revolutions without a load of clothes

I have read that if the pump is not draining the tub completely, there is an interlock that prevents the high speed spin from engagin. I have had debris caught in my pump several times (kids!!) with similar issues. There is a trap on the line leading from the tub to the pump which is "supposed" to capture debris, but it doesn't work all that well. Check your pump.....

SOURCE: tromm lg washing machine keeps

The OE error is really a DE error. (Drain error) Drain all water out of machine as you have done before and remove the square recess around the filter by removing one screws and using a putty knife from the side of the recess. Now you will be able to remove the two more screws holding the pump to the front housing. Tip machine back (best to just lean it against an object like a wall that's about a foot and a half away) and reach under machine to remove pump. Pump is held by a plastic tab which should be depressed to release pump. If you take off wires to pump and the two bigger hoses you can pull the assemble completely out. Take the three screws out which are holding the pump motor on. Replace pump motor with a new one. Reinstall pump assembly.
If you list a model number I can look up a part number.
Not too sure how you got water to come out vent, as machine should not spin with water in drum. Possibly you may also have to clean out the water level hose. Remove four screws holding back cover, take off cover, remove and clean out thin black hose from bottom back of machine and the nipple it was pushed onto.

SOURCE: Washing machine is not completing it's wash cycle

either you have a blocked hose to the pump or the pump itself is either jammed or the impellor has come off the shaft. either way i think you will need to replace the pump. i presume you managed to get the water out? if so i would say the pump is favourite.

Check your drain. It is dual purpose. It not only drains but, it also recirculates the water doring the cycles.

My maytag washer is shaking violently on the rinse cycle

I am currently having the same issue with my Maytag A482. Not sure if you have found a fix yet, or if you have replaced your washer. My washer runs fine until it nears the end of the cycle, when it begins to spin and shake violently, enough to loosen the leveling feet and rock back and forth. I pulled the front panel of the machine off (two screws near the base in the front, and two clips at the top) and ran a load through it. It ran fine until the end, when the machine started shaking violently. I did notice a few small pieces of roundish felt looking material sitting on the bottom, which after some research looks like it may be the damper pad. I found these online:
Damper pad 203956
Replacement Damper 203725 for MAYTAG Laundry Appliances A482

I am hoping this will resolve the issue, I will order them this afternoon and install them once they arrive. I really hate to replace such a good washer with a new high efficiency unit, which all seem to have terrible reviews after a few months/year of use.

My amana 27" front load

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

Although I do not have the list for your particular model, 'nd' probably stands for 'No Drain'.

I would gently suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor/pump lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters and many machines will not even go to rinse or spin or release the door lock if there is any water still left inside.
Following are my complete and generic guidance notes for checking both the drain motor filter and the drain motor ;-0)
REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT (alternatively use a wet vac as sensibly suggested by VinnyB1234!)
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!). These panels are either held on by (plasic) screws or will just pull off. Most filters are held in by a round cover/knob. Sometimes the filter will not come out with the cover and you will have to persuade it to come out to play.

It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. Using something suitable like a glove see if it is easy to briefly slow the motor down. If it is easy then the motor is malfunctioning.

If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!
