Amana NTW4516FW Washer does not advance to rinse cycle

@jphonedude,

Here’s the tech sheet for your washer.

The fault code you mentioned is not shown so maybe it is a control board issue.

Check what codes it shows when running the diagnostics as per the tech sheet.

If your newer washer is stuck on wash and won’t advance to the next cycles. Take the cold water hose off the machine side and clean it. The screen won’t come out, so you need to take a tooth pick or something like one and clean it by sticking it around the slots on the out side edge of screen. Little small black peace’s of black dirt will stop your washer from working. My washer is only a year old. It’s works!!!

Hi @ lucky freeman

Here’s the tech sheet for your model washer.

Run the diagnostics as described in the sheet and check for any error codes.

If there are any, use the sheet to check what the code means and the most likely cause.

It may be better this way than to assume that the fault with your machine is related to the same faulty part as others in this thread. Just because the symptoms are the same doesn’t necessarily mean that the cause of the problem is the same.

I can't thank you enough for sharing these troubleshooting tips!

Dealing with a washer that's stuck in the wash can be incredibly frustrating, and I've been there myself.

Your step-by-step guide is a lifesaver, especially for someone like me who isn't exactly a DIY expert.

I followed your advice and started by checking the power source and ensuring the door was properly closed.

It turned out that a loose power connection was the culprit, and a simple fix got my Amana washer back on track.

I was amazed at how something so minor could cause such a major problem.

Your suggestion about resetting the washer by unplugging it for a few minutes also did the trick when the problem persisted.

It's the little things like this that can save us from costly repairs or replacements.

I appreciate your clear explanations and the emphasis on safety throughout the process.

It's evident that you care about your readers' well-being and want us to tackle these issues safely and effectively.

Your blog has become my go-to resource for appliance-related issues,

and I'll be sure to share it with friends and family who might face similar problems with their appliances. Keep up the fantastic work!

I lost my job today unexpectedly and am trying to be strong- but can someone help me? Please? I pride myself as a single 30 yo with a humble lil home on my ability to be handy and teach myself through these things, as the internet is an amazing place, but I'm losing it! My older Amana top loader washer will not advance after filling up at start of cycle. The lid lock is not bent/broken obstructed, seems the usual/fine but all of a sudden since last night it's not registering as "locked" in terms of the red light, thus preventing it from moving on to next step I imagine? Anyhoo, after many hours of helpful youtube, I have done the rotating L R etc, and it works, it will go all the way to rinse flashing/I hit start and everything starts running- but only for a few seconds (not the 2/4 mins all online posts suggest) and stops before displaying any error codes. All the green lights do their thing etc. for 6 seconds, then halts /red lid lock flashes a couple times washer stops dead. Too broke for professional help and don't know/trust anyone to help? Not doing anything wrong just can't make it past this point. Thanks for reading this nervous rant! Any help appreciated!

Mine did the same, even after calibration. So now, after I push start, I wait for the "click". Then open the lid and shut it. Press start again. This allows it to complete the cycles
