AMANA DISHWASHER REPAIR : THE MOST COMMON ISSUES
Appliance repair is not that difficult, you just have to know what you are doing. If you are going to own an Amana dishwasher, you need to know how to take care of it. Do some research on it. We tell our clients every day to look into your purchase as much as possible.
We also tell our clients that with repair jobs, you won’t always need us. Most of the stuff you can handle on your own. We are just there in case you need backup.
What sort of everyday issues does the Amana have?
THE DISHWASHER WON’T START
There could be a few things happening here. The first issue we suggest you look into is the door switch. If the dishwasher is not working, the switch could be preventing this. The lock could be defective. The switch will prevent things from working if the door is open.
All you need to do is go into the control panel. There is a “part testing” video online, on our site. Watch it. This will show you how to test your switch, seeing if it’s defective or not. If it is defective, you might need some dishwasher parts. All you need is a new switch. That’s all there is to it.
You might also want to look at the main control board. It’s responsible for everything, including the integrated console and led display. Look into the main control board. It could be the issue. Be careful with this. You need to diagnose the problem correctly. Sometimes a misdiagnosis can cause the dishwasher repair to malfunction completely.
In some cases, you might need to give us a call. We are better at knowing what to look for. If you have any doubts, it’s in your best interest to call us. If you don’t, it will cost you even more down the road. Something to remember with this. The timer is often times confused as the issue. It’s not. Just because the timer might be working improperly, doesn’t mean anything. Sometimes the cause is not the symptom. This is why you need to look thoroughly at the control panel.
The touch pad and the control panel often times go hand in hand. Sometimes if the touch pad is defective, the control panel won’t get the signal it needs. There are times when both will need to be replaced at the same time. This is often times true with a tall tub dishwasher.
Another issue could be with the door latch. Now keep in mind, the door latch will be made of plastic. Sometimes the latch is defective. This happens during the assembly. If the latch is defective, you will need to have it replaced. This is not going to be a appliance repair job.
You will need to go down to the local store and buy a new one. Keep in mind, not all stores will carry the type you need. If you have model ADB2500AWS from Amana, research your local shops. Some shops will carry it, others will not.
For any of the above parts we mentioned, call the store first. What happens if they are sold out? It makes no sense to waste time and gas trying to find a part which is not there.
