Amana Washer controls don't work

If your Amana washer controls are not working, the display, timer, buttons, or cycle selector may be completely unresponsive. Start with the most likely cause: inspect the washing machine power cord for breaks, exposed wires, or blackened terminals, and replace it if damaged. If the cord looks good, test the line fuse, then the washer fuse, with a multimeter for electrical continuity. A fuse with no continuity has blown and must be replaced. If the washer has power but the controls still do not respond, check the selector knob, timer knob, and control knob. A cracked or stripped knob can slip on the switch or timer stem instead of turning it, causing washer controls not working, a washer knob not working, or a washing machine display not working. Disconnect power before inspecting or testing electrical parts, and follow proper meter safety procedures. Enter your Amana washer model number to find the exact replacement power cord, fuse, line fuse, selector knob, timer knob, or control knob for your specific washing machine.

01 - Amana Washing Machine Power Cord

If the whole washer display or timer is not working, the washer's power cord could the source of the problem. Inspect the cord for any breaks or burn marks near the terminals. If the terminals appear blackened or wires are exposed through the cord's insulation, you should replace the power cord with a new one.
