If your Amana dishwasher is filling but not washing, the issue might be a clogged spray arm or a malfunctioning wash motor. First, detach and clean the spray arm to ensure no debris is blocking water flow. If the problem persists, check the wash motor; you might need a technician for this. Also, ensure the door latch is secured, as the dishwasher won’t operate if the door isn’t properly closed. Regular maintenance is key to preventing such issues.
