Reading the washer display

On a washer the code appears on the digital display or as a pattern of flashing cycle lights. Note it exactly, including any dashes or sub-codes, then unplug the washer for five minutes and run a short drain cycle to see whether it returns. Amana models often flash lights instead of printing text, so count the flashes.

Amana is a Whirlpool Corporation brand sold mostly through builder and value channels. Its entry-level washers, dryers and ranges use the simpler Whirlpool-family control boards, so the codes are short and often shown as flashing lights. The codes apply to model numbers such as ADB1200AWS, ADB2200AWS and NDE2330AYW; check the label on your unit to confirm yours.

What causes F7 E9

How to fix it

  1. Cycle the power: unplug the washer (or switch off its breaker) for five minutes, restore power, then start a short cycle and see whether the code returns.
  2. Disconnect power for the recommended time, then restart and press each key to see if one sticks.
  3. Clean the panel with a barely damp cloth and check around the keys for spills or swelling.
  4. With power off, reseat the ribbon cable or harness between the panel and the main control.
  5. Replace the user interface or touchpad if the code returns, then confirm every key responds.
  6. Run a full short cycle or function again and confirm the code stays gone before putting the appliance back into normal use.

Questions

What does F7 E9 mean on a Amana washer?

It is a fault code from the Amana control. It indicates a problem with the control panel. A power reset is the first thing to try.

Can I keep using the washer while it shows F7 E9?

You can try it after a power reset. If the code returns, the affected function may not run properly, so it is worth fixing soon before it causes a bigger failure.

Do I need a technician to clear F7 E9?

Many owners can fix it themselves. Start with the reset and the inspection steps, and only call a technician if the part tests bad and you do not want to replace it.
