Washer will not spin or agitate; motor hums or does nothing; F7E1 (basket speed sensor error) is displayed.

Safety: Unplug the washer before accessing the motor or bottom panel. Tip the washer only if stable and supported.

• Reset and test: Unplug for 5 minutes, then run a drain & spin with an empty tub. If F7E1 returns, continue.
• Inspect motor connections:
  • Remove the rear or bottom access panel.
  • Locate the drive motor at the bottom of the tub.
  • Check the motor connector and harness for looseness, corrosion, or damage. Reseat firmly.
• Check for obstruction: Ensure nothing is jammed between the tub and cabinet that could prevent rotation.
• Test motor/tach: Using the tech sheet, measure resistance of the motor windings and tachometer. If readings are out of spec, replace the motor assembly.
• Replace drive motor if faulty: Remove the drive belt (if belt-driven) or rotor (for direct-drive), unbolt the motor, install the new Amana-compatible motor, and reassemble.

If the motor and tach test good, the main control board may not be driving the motor correctly and may need replacement.
