• Unplug the washing machine from the electrical outlet for 60 seconds, then plug it back in to perform a hard reset and clear the error code
• Verify your home circuit breaker has not tripped; check the breaker panel and reset if necessary
• Confirm both hot and cold water supply valves behind the washer are fully open and turned counterclockwise
• Inspect both inlet hoses (hot and cold) for kinks, bends, or crimping that could restrict water flow
• Check that inlet hose screens are not clogged with sediment; turn off water valves, disconnect hoses, and rinse the screens
• Ensure the washer is sitting level on the floor using a bubble level; adjust leveling legs if needed
• Verify you are using the correct detergent type for your Amana model (High-Efficiency HE detergent where required) in the proper amount
• Inspect the drain hose for kinks, blockages, or improper installation that could affect drainage and trigger sensor errors
• Run a test cycle with hot water selected and listen for water filling sounds; if no hot water fills, the inlet valve or supply may be blocked
• If the error persists after these checks, contact an authorized Amana service technician for diagnosis and repair of the heating element or temperature sensor
