Amana Washer F05 Error Code

The drain pump is not operating properly, often due to a jam or electrical fault.

Common causes

  • Foreign object (coin, sock) blocking the pump
  • Faulty drain pump motor
  • Open or shorted pump wiring

How to fix it

  1. Unplug the washer and remove the lower access panel.
  2. Inspect and clean the pump impeller area through the filter opening.
  3. Check for voltage at the pump connector when the washer tries to drain (requires a multimeter).
⚠ When to call a pro: If cleaning does not resolve and the pump has no voltage, the control board may be bad; call a pro.
