Washer powers on but buttons do not respond correctly or random functions activate; F1E2 appears on the display.

Safety: Unplug the washer before accessing the console or control boards.

• Power cycle: Unplug for 5 minutes, then reconnect and test. Intermittent UI glitches can clear with a reset.
• Inspect console for moisture: If the washer is in a humid area or recently splashed, allow the console to dry for several hours. Do not use a heat gun directly on plastic.
• Check UI ribbon cable:
  • Remove the top panel and console screws to access the user interface board.
  • Locate the flat ribbon cable between the UI and main control.
  • Disconnect, inspect for corrosion or damage, and firmly reseat both ends.
• Test button response: With power restored, enter diagnostic mode (per Amana tech sheet in the console) and test each button. If some buttons do not register, the UI is likely defective.
• Replace user interface if needed:
  • Order the correct Amana console/UI assembly by model number.
  • Transfer any overlay or trim pieces as required.
  • Reconnect wiring, reassemble console, and test operation.

Note: If a new UI does not resolve the issue, the main control board UI circuit may also need replacement.
