What this family is
The WDF dishwasher family covers six listings, WDF332PAM**-01 through WDF332PAM**-01, and the table below is the whole of what the spine records about them. What dominates on this platform is drainage faults, with leaks and water on the floor behind it.
What goes wrong on these models
- Drainage faults — it drained fine until the day a new disposer was fitted — See: Amana WDF Dishwasher: Will Not Drain.
- Leaks and water on the floor — water at the front of the machine under the door — See: Amana WDF Dishwasher: Water Leak.
- Wash and dry results — detergent left undissolved in the dispenser — See: Amana WDF Dishwasher: Does Not Clean or Dry.
- Will-not-start faults — it starts hours later than expected — See: Amana WDF Dishwasher: Will Not Start or No Power.
Problem classes in frequency order
- 1. Drainage faults — Led here by a drain connection that was never opened. It ranks high because all six WDF listings connect the same way, so the installation is what varies.
- 2. Leaks and water on the floor — The usual answer in this class is the door alignment and the strike.
- 3. Wash and dry results — On this platform it is loading that blocks the arms, more often than anything else.
- 4. Will-not-start faults — On these models the class is led by the door latch and strike.

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
Of the classes above, drainage faults, leaks and water on the floor and wash and dry results are what an owner can work on: seals, filters, clearances and settings, with nothing dismantled. 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.
