Amana Washing Machine NTW4516FW: Stuck on final rinse, LED flashing

Fri, 03 Jul 2026 21:51:41 -0700

Hello. I was originally getting a flashing LED for Final Spin and it wouldn't progress past it.

I would try to press drain/spin and it will only drain a bit and then not spin.

I have replaced the shift actuator, splutch kit, and capacitor(even though old one was good).

After replacing the parts I have done a recalibration and the issue still persisted.

I went into Diag mode and got a code F7E1 for Basket speed. During Auto test it went through it completely fine.

In manual mode it everything seems to work except for it being on "LowSpin/HighSpin" where I get nothing. Agitation mode works fine. The windings of the motor were in spec as I was going through trouble shooting steps.

I'm currently at the point where I'm trying to check voltage on J12 / J2 connector. My multimeter isn't thin enough to backprobe the 4 pin J12 connector.

What else can I do to fix this washer?

Also when roommates use the washer it's sometimes unbalanced and clunks until we stop the cycle and rebalance the load. Tub suspension bolts seem intact by the way

Amana Washing Machine NTW4516FW: Amana NTW4516FW Washer does not advance to rinse cycle

The washer fills, agitates, and spins. Then it thinks it is done and shuts off. The washer needs to be set to a manual rinse cycle after washing. It also seems to have issues with auto sense. Water level seems deeper than necessary, so that washing small loads is not water efficient.

Amana Washing Machine NTW4516FW: Unit doesn't fill with cold water and will not advance to spin cycle

My washer will not fill all the way and time out if I use anything other than the "warm" option for water temperature. Everytime I check on a load the clothes will be wet and the light will be on rinse.

My washer when I start it will start to run water then stops and shuts off. If I leave it it will continue after being shut off but never drains?

Amana Washing Machine NTW4516FW: Lid lock will not unlock

Fri, 10 Nov 2023 10:45:25 -0700

The lid lock on my washer was broken and would not lock. I replaced it. When I lowered the lid while reassembling it locked and now will not unlock. I have been on YouTube and tried self test, diagnostic( no error shows) The light may be on or off but does not unlock? Any more ideas? I took it back apart once to confirm it was installed correctly. Manually unlocked it, but when I reassemble again the lid locks automatically as though it has to do with positioning??

Thanks, Katie

Amana Washing Machine NTW4516FW: Washer will not continue to ANY cycle

Wed, 05 Jul 2023 09:42:23 -0700

I am just searching for a little confirmation on my troubleshooting before I go and spend $200 for a timer. The machine will fill, drain, and spin correctly within any given cycle but it will not continue into the next cycle regardless of what it is.

Could there be another possible cause of this problem that I could test?
