How Amana codes are built
A code like F9E1 splits into two parts: the letter-number group before the E names the subsystem, and the group after it names the specific failure inside that subsystem. That is why F9E1 (drain) and F8E1 (fill) look similar but have nothing to do with each other. Short codes like LF and dr are plain-text abbreviations the display uses instead of the F-format.

Why code lists differ between brands
Whirlpool Corporation builds several brands on shared washer platforms, so most codes are common across the group — F9E1 means a long drain on any of them. But the control software is not identical. One brand may use F2E5 where a sibling uses F2E3 for what is functionally the same board mismatch fault.
That is why these pages are split by brand even when the underlying table overlaps. A search for “amana F2E3” deserves an answer about Amana, not a redirect to a page about a different badge.
What a code does not tell you
A fault code reports what the machine detected, not which part to buy. Two different failures can raise the same code: a drain code can come from a kinked hose, a blocked pump or a failed pump motor, and the display cannot tell those apart. Work the causes in order from cheapest to check, and stop as soon as one produces a change in behaviour.
Equally, the absence of a code does not mean nothing is wrong. A slow fill that finishes inside the time limit, or a drain that is sluggish but completes, never trips a threshold and never shows a code — the symptom is the only signal you get.
If your code is not listed
0 codes is what we could confirm in Amana's published troubleshooting material. Manufacturers define more codes than they print for consumers: the full table lives in the service manual issued to authorised technicians. We do not reproduce codes we cannot source, because a guessed meaning sends you to replace the wrong component.
If your display shows something not on this list, write it down exactly as it appears, then start from the symptom guides — the behaviour of the machine narrows the fault faster than an undocumented code will.
