Work in order and stop whenever a step is not supported by the documentation for your model.

01
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.
02
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.
03
Stop before internal work
- If the code remains after the documented external checks, request service.
- Do not remove panels, bypass door or float protections, or access wiring, pumps, valves, motors, controls, or heater circuits.

Do not reach into wet areas while electrical power is connected.
Do not remove service panels or probe energized wiring, pumps, valves, motors, controls, or heater circuits.
Do not replace a part based only on the displayed code.
