How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before opening any electrical compartments. If you are not experienced with electrical testing, consult a professional.
- Check outlet: Plug a lamp or small appliance into the same outlet to verify power. Reset any tripped breakers or GFCI outlets.
- Inspect power cord: Examine the cord for cuts, burns, or kinks. Replace the cord if damaged.
- Access control board: Remove the rear access panel and locate the main control board. Look for an onboard fuse (glass or blade type).
- Test and replace fuse: With the unit unplugged, check the fuse for continuity. If blown, replace with the exact same type and rating. If it blows again immediately, there is a deeper electrical fault that needs professional diagnosis.
- Inspect board components: Look for burnt areas, cracked components, or bulging capacitors. A damaged board should be replaced rather than repaired in the field.
- Replace main control board if necessary: Install a new Amana main control board, transferring connectors one at a time to avoid miswiring.
