The short answer
The WDF dishwasher covers the model numbers in the table below, all of them the same platform. The WDF family is one platform carried across a run of revisions, and the trailing digits of the model number are what separate them: the fault set is shared, the part numbers are not.
What goes wrong, and where it is covered
- Poor cleaning or drying — Gritty deposits redeposited on clean-looking dishes. — Slug: amana-amana-dishwasher-wdf-dishwasher-cleaning-performance — Title: Amana WDF Dishwasher: Does Not Clean or Dry
- Will not drain — Complete silence at the drain step. — Slug: amana-amana-dishwasher-wdf-dishwasher-drainage-failure — Title: Amana WDF Dishwasher: Will Not Drain
- Water leak — Foam visible in the tub at the end of the cycle. — Slug: amana-amana-dishwasher-wdf-dishwasher-water-leak — Title: Amana WDF Dishwasher: Water Leak
- Will not start — It died suddenly having been perfectly normal. — Slug: amana-amana-dishwasher-wdf-dishwasher-wont-start — Title: Amana WDF Dishwasher: Will Not Start or No Power
Problem classes in order on the WDF family
- Poor cleaning or drying: filter loaded with debris and recirculating it — It is free to fix, it is reversible, and on a machine of this kind it is designed to be cleaned by hand regularly.
- Will not drain: filter and food trap blocked — A filter packed with soft debris blocks the path to the pump.
- Water leak: door gasket hardened, displaced or dirty — Food debris sitting on the seal does exactly the same thing and costs nothing to correct.
- Will not start: door latch or its switch not confirming a closed door — A latch that has worn, or a door that has dropped slightly in its opening, leaves the switch open while the door looks perfectly closed.
- Body: No sample size is available, so this is an ordering rather than a measured frequency.

Where the faults sit — No warehouse sample gives a frequency here, so this table carries no denominator.

Before any panel comes off
Safety
Unplug the appliance or switch off its breaker before removing any panel or reaching into the sump — a capacitor can hold a charge after the power is off.
Where owner work stops
The first check on each page below needs no tools; anything behind a panel is a service call. Have your full model number ready: parts differ across this family.
