Pro Diagnostic Tip
F5 E2 is a lid-lock confirmation fault on these top-load Amana washers — the board tried to lock the lid and never got the signal back, so the cycle stalls at fill. On the value NTW builds the weak point is the wire harness at the rear hinge, which fatigues and breaks from years of lid slams, so flex-test it there first. If the lock motor runs but you never hear the lid clunk shut, the internal plastic pawl has snapped and the whole lock assembly is due, not just the switch.
