Amana Washer damaging clothes
If your Amana washer is damaging clothes, inspect the washing machine drum assembly first. A damaged inner drum can develop sharp edges that catch and tear fabric during agitation or spin. Run a cloth around the inside of the drum and replace the drum assembly if it snags. The inner tub is the next likely cause, especially when the tub interior is cracked or jagged. A broken drum baffle, agitator assembly, or washplate can also cause a washer to tear clothes, rip clothing, or leave marks during the cycle. Check each part for cracks, breaks, and sharp edges, and replace any damaged component. Also inspect the tub area with a flashlight for screws, nails, or other objects caught around the agitator, baffles, or inner tub. Remove loose objects, but replace any interior part they damaged. Whether you have a top-load or front-load Amana washing machine damaging clothes, enter your model number to find the exact replacement drum assembly, inner tub, baffle, agitator, or washplate for your specific washing machine.
