Record the code and model
- Photograph or write down the exact code or flashing pattern before clearing it.
- Confirm the full model number and Amana owner manual before taking model-specific action.
Use only documented owner-safe checks
- If there is no active leak or uncontrolled filling, disconnect dishwasher power for 30 seconds as Amana documents.
- Restore power once and check whether normal operation resumes.
