Thanks to Owner-Manuals.com! This manual was exactly what I needed. As Amana was purchased by Maytag and later by Whirlpool, there was no way to receive it from their websites. I was lucky to find this resource.
A comprehensive Operating and Service Manual. All schematics are complete and easy to read. The PCB drawings and complete parts list are very helpful. I would definitely recommend this manual.

Detergent can also accumulate inside the drawer recess: clean it with an old toothbrush. Refit the drawer after cleaning.
Cleaning the pump
The pump should be inspected regularly and particularly if � the machine does not empty and/or spin � the machine makes an unusual noise during draining due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking the pump. Proceed as follows: � Disconnect the appliance. � If necessary wait until the water has cooled down. � Open the pump door. � Place a container close to the pump to collect any spillage. � Pull out the emergency emptying hose, P1114 place it in the container and remove its cap. � When no more water comes out, unscrew the pump cover and remove it. Always keep a rag nearby to dry up spillage of water when removing the cover.
P1 1 15
� Remove any objects from the pump impeller by rotating it.
