Possible Solution

Is the water supply connected correctly?

Check all the connection points. Be sure the rubber washer is properly seated in the fitting for any connection point. Slide the 3/4" (19 mm) fitting of the 90° elbow up to the valve and hand-tighten it to avoid cross-threading. Hand-tighten until the coupling is tight. Using pliers, check the tightness of the coupling. Sealing the rubber gasket may require an additional 1/4 to 1/2 turn. Make sure to route the fill hose out to the rear left side of the unit.

Are there suds coming out of the dishwasher?

If your Amana dishwasher is overwhelmed with suds, bubbles, or soap foam, prompt action is crucial. Start by halting the dishwasher cycle immediately. This can be done by pressing the 'Cancel' button or opening the door, which will stop the operation. Assess the dishwasher for visible suds and focus on effective drainage to prevent further complications.

Stop the dishwasher immediately.
Cancel the wash cycle. Clean up any overflow. Do not let water sit and seep into cabinets or floorboards. Use a wet mop to clean up any overflow.
Remove dishes from the dishwasher.
Add ¼ c of vegetable or other cooking oil to the bottom of the dishwasher.
Run a Quick Cycle with no detergent or dishes. The added oil will suppress the suds and help flush the soap through the dishwasher.
If suds are still present, repeat the above steps.
