Excess suds

Switch to HE (High Efficiency) detergent — non-HE produces excessive suds in Amana HE washers
Reduce detergent to 1 tablespoon per load (Amana budget models use less water than premium lines)
Run an empty Clean Washer cycle to clear residual suds from the system
Clean the drain pump filter — persistent suds codes often indicate a partial drain clog
Pro Diagnostic Tip
Amana NTW and NFW models use less water per cycle than premium Whirlpool/Maytag lines, making them more sensitive to excess detergent. Use even less detergent than recommended for other brands — 1 tablespoon is usually sufficient for a normal load.
