Amana Washer clothes still wet at the end of cycle
When your Amana washer clothes are still wet at the end of the cycle, the inner tub may not be reaching spin speed or may not be extracting enough water. The most likely cause is a worn clutch, which can prevent the tub from spinning properly. Next, inspect the drive belt for damage, looseness, or signs that it has slipped off the pulleys. A worn clutch band kit can cause the same symptom on applicable top load models. If those parts are in good condition, inspect the basket drive for worn clutch pads, stripped spin tube tabs, or a damaged drive block. A stripped hub can also keep the inner tub from engaging, leaving washing machine clothes still wet and the washer not spinning out water. Finally, check the motor control board, especially if it is not sending power to the motor or has visibly burned components. Unplug the washer before inspecting internal parts, and verify each component with the model's technical information. Enter your Amana washer model number to find the exact replacement clutch, drive belt, clutch band kit, basket drive, hub, or motor control board for your specific washing machine.

Some top load washers use a clutch to spin the inner tub. If the clutch gets worn the clothes may come out wet. You can fix the problem you can install a new clutch band kit, if applicable to the model.
The basket drive sits on top of the transmission and engages with the inner tub. If the transmission is engaging to spin, and the outer tub spins slowly or does not spin at all, the spin tube tabs may be stripped. Alternatively, the drive block on the spin tube may be stripped. Inspect both the spin tube tabs and the drive block. If the spin tube tabs and drive block are not worn out, the clutch pads on the basket drive are likely worn out. If the clutch pads are worn out, you must replace the basket drive.
The hub is seated on top of the transmission and engages with the inner tub. If the transmission is engaged to spin, and the outer tub spins slowly or does not spin at all, the hub teeth may be stripped. Inspect the hub for damage or wear and replace if necessary.
The motor control board provides power to the motor. If the motor control board is defective, the washer may not function properly or may not work at all. First, check the control board for burned out components. To determine if the motor control board is defective, ensure that the control board is providing power to the motor. If the control board has power, but is not providing power to the motor, replace it.
