Lots of videos showing howhttps://www.google.com/search?q=How+do+I+get+the+agitator+out+on+an+old+Amana+ALW480DLW+washing+machine&source=lmns&tbm=vid&bih=625&biw=1366&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi86Jvz_JXuAhVQArcAHQIzCw0Q_AUoAnoECAEQAg

Turn off the water, and remove the hoses from the back of the machine. Inside there you will see a small gauze strainer. It is probably partially blocked with limescale and debris. It empties, because the logic board doesn't understand why the machine is not filled within a certain time, so it aborts and pumps out.

bad ignitor

You could do with a bit of punctuation in there Mary! Putting my own in makes a difference where I put commas or periods. Only you know what you mean. You need a service call. It sounds like the pump has failed. When that happens, the machine protects itself and disables the spin feature. If you are 'handy', you could check the Pump for debris or something blocking it. However, it may be a mainboard problem. On your machine, it is a known issue! https://www.google.com/search?safe=off&rlz=1C1QJDB_enCA643CA644&sxsrf=ALeKk01G-oZ3IjxPpccoTF9clXS60bhhNA%3A1605477298475&ei=sqOxX-DBHLep5NoP8q6CuAY&q=amana+nfw7200tw+not+draining ..

Most likely Freon

If this is a window unit, the tray drain is located at the bottom outside. It may be clogged, but also the unit may not have been installed correctly to direct water flow toward the outside drain.

Cycle timer could be defective

It pulls straight up and off .But after many years this will be easier said than done due to accumulated grime. Pullers with extensions are sold for this purpose, but the price might outweigh the benefit. You can also break the agitator to get it off, but check first to make certain you can get a replacement. Another trick involves drilling straight down the center (under the fabric softener cup) of the agitator and spraying a lubricant like WD40 on the hole to help loosen the agitator where it attaches to the drive shaft spline.

All this means is that the Copeland monitor is sensing amp draw on the compressor but it is not detecting a Y signal calling for the compressor to run. If there is no problem with the contactor and equipment is running fine, check for the jumper wire that carries the Y signal over to the compressor monitor.

The replacement shift actuator may have failed early.

The system needs to know the lid is closed and locked before it will move onto the next stage of the programme - it needs feedback from the lid switch.

Defective cycle timer

Use the special brush you obtain from an appliance parts supplier

Remove the rear panel to find and disconnect the hose.

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

The issue could be several thing,s but a couple of thoughts given the age of the dryer and home. From a dryer standpoint sometimes the dryer drive motor fails by shorting out internally. The electrical short will cause the breaker the blow. If you are handy with a digital multimeter check for continuity across the motor. From a home standpoint, the circuit breaker over time can wear out and trip early below the rated amperage. Since it is a gas dryer that is probably not the issue but check the wall outlet the dryer is plugged in to by testing another appliance with similar amperage draw. Good luck with your troubleshooting!

The manual for the W10562495A has a copyright date of July 2013. Since this is a fairly new dryer, I believe it has an on-demand igniter instead of a standing pilot light. Most gas dryers stopped including a pilot light in the 1980s. This is much safer since there is no danger of the pilot going out with the gas still flowing. If your dryer is not working, check the gas solenoid and the igniter. (Use the data sheet that should be inside the dryer. It may be behind the control panel.) If you live in an area that had a history of mining, check your ventilation. I have to open the garage doors to my home after some storms to get more oxygen into the basement. The gas appliances will give an error about "failing to ignite" if I don't. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells
