Amana NTW4516FW Washer does not advance to rinse cycle

Amana NTW4516FW Washer does not advance to rinse cycle

The washer fills, agitates, and spins. Then it thinks it is done and shuts off. The washer needs to be set to a manual rinse cycle after washing. It also seems to have issues with auto sense. Water level seems deeper than necessary, so that washing small loads is not water efficient.

"When the cycle doesn't advance, it's probably the timer or a cold-water supply problem:

It's the timer, if your washing machine fills with water and begins agitating, but the timer never advances--or if the washer is in a spin cycle and the timer won't advance. Then you need to replace the timer."

"This machine has no timer. It is controlled by a main control board. Check water intake of cold water

entering machine. Make sure it is a steady flow. If that checks good. More than likely it is the shift actuator.

Part # W10913953 . This part senses load size. RPM’s & shifts the cam assy from agitation mode to spin mode.

To reset your washer. Make sure all LED lights are off. You will need to turn timer control knob one click @ a

time as instructed below. slow & steady clicks.

L > R > R > R > L > R

all lights will LED’s will flash. Turn timer control knob until just the rinse light is lit. Press start. The machine will

go through a 3 to 5 minute calibration mode resetting the machine."

"@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."

"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."
