What this family is
The ADB dishwasher family covers twenty-eight listings, ADB1100AW**-02 through ADB1700AD**, and the table below is the whole of what the spine records about them. What dominates on this platform is wash and dry results, with will-not-start faults behind it.
What goes wrong on these models
- Wash and dry results — grit or film left on items in the upper rack only — See: Amana ADB Dishwasher: Does Not Clean or Dry.
- Will-not-start faults — it beeps or flashes when the start button is pressed — See: Amana ADB Dishwasher: Will Not Start or No Power.
- Leaks and water on the floor — a leak only on heavy cycles — See: Amana ADB Dishwasher: Water Leak.
- Drainage faults — a hum or buzz at the point in the cycle where it should drain — See: Amana ADB Dishwasher: Will Not Drain.
Problem classes in frequency order
- 1. Wash and dry results — On these models the class is led by blocked spray-arm jets. It leads across the ADB revisions because the drain path is one of the things the revision numbers left alone.
- 2. Will-not-start faults — Led here by the control lock and delayed start.
- 3. Leaks and water on the floor — The usual answer in this class is the door gasket.
- 4. Drainage faults — On this platform it is soil sitting where the water has to leave, more often than anything else.

Before you open anything
Safety
Switch the machine off at its breaker or unplug it before reaching into the sump; a capacitor can hold a charge after the power is off. Assume there is broken glass wherever the water sits, and never defeat the door latch to run a cycle with the door open.
Owner work and technician work
The owner-fixable end of this list is wash and dry results, leaks and water on the floor and drainage faults, which start with seals, filters, clearances and settings and need no panel off. The line is crossed as soon as a check needs a meter on live terminals, the sump opened, or the machine pulled out of its cabinet, and it is the same line on every listing in the table.
