How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the washer before attempting manual lid release.
- Wait and reset: Allow several minutes after cycle end, then unplug for 5 minutes and plug back in to see if the lid unlocks.
- Manual release: Access the lid lock from under the top panel and use the manual release tab or lever (if provided) to open the lid.
- Inspect lock and lid: Check for physical damage, misalignment, or warping that could bind the lock.
- Replace lid lock assembly: If the lock repeatedly fails to release, install a new Amana lid lock assembly.
