F21Warning

Amana Washer F21 Error Code

The washer took too long to drain water, usually over 8 minutes.

Common causes

  • Clogged drain hose or pump filter
  • Kinked drain hose
  • Faulty drain pump

How to fix it

  1. Check and clean the drain pump filter (usually behind the lower access panel).
  2. Ensure the drain hose is not kinked or blocked, and is elevated properly.
  3. Run a drain-only cycle to see if water drains completely.
⚠ When to call a pro: If the error persists after cleaning the filter and checking the hose, call a technician.
