I had the same problem. You need a brake kit. it holds the drum still while in the agitate mode. the centrifical force of the water during that slow spin is causing the water to spill over the top of your drum. easy and cheap fix.
not only do you have a loud roar but it's leaking small amounts of water thru the top seal and into the spin brg . top brg and seal will have to be replaced .. the pump may be ok they donot make noise and the belt is normal mantaince . the idler just oil it . . the parts that you stated are in the lower part of the maching and the brg is just under the outer tub . .. and just for your info the pump runs both in spin and agit . so why does it not make noise in the wash ? so back to basic the top brg is only going in the spin and they get noisey whe water get s in them .. we do a lot of these and trust me the top brg is your problem . mm hope this helps ... feed back pls and thanks for ysing fix ya .
Thanks for using FixYa. From what you have described it seems that replacing the bearing should solve the issue however, you can also check the pulley and the brake pads. I dont think they should be bad as if they are bad washer should be making some noise but still would recommend you to check them. Also check this diagram for more information:
Please do
accept the solution if the issue is resolved or else revert for further
assistance. Thanks Rylee
The AMANA washer has an outer tub and a water pump. Please check these to make sure you can see where the leak is coming from and replace. Also, if your machine has a dispensing system, check all hoses for THAT system. If upon fill up the out tyub HOLDS WATER and DOES NOT Leak, then the outer tub is okay. Carefullky look at the water pump on drain.
you may have blockage in the drain pipe several feet from washer. if you can run spin cycle with hose in different location ex. tub,sink or outdoors. if this works run long snake down washer drain pipe to clean gypsum residual.
somewhere attatched to the tub/lower water hose is something called a pressure chamber- this will need cleaning out. its identified by a plastic/rubber tube leading from it to a higher switch/unit. in the first instance you can blow some compressed air down the tube to see if that helps. it seems that you may need to do more hot washes. remember isolate machine.
If your Amana washing machine lid is locked and it seems like it's not getting power, there are several steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue. Follow these steps to identify and potentially resolve the problem:
Fiona, could it be that your'e using Liquid color-safe bleach as it is thicker than chlorine bleach and will not dispense properly from the chlorine bleach dispenser?
And did you Remove the inserts from the drawer. The inserts are the detergent selector and covers of the softener and bleach dispenser.. and clean and replace them?
Tis really hard not being there and being able to see the unit.
But thought I'd give you these suggestions.
Best to you.
Question edited for clarity, 'Amanda' to 'Amana'.
Question moved to maker category.
It is sensing, and that you have something that needs a 'Delicate' setting, or a 'Woollens' setting. It provides water and very little agitation that might damage or stretch the clothes. Read the manual.

Laundry Washer or Dishwasher?
If it is a dishwasher, it sounds like the Flood Sensor is stopping the cycle. There is a tray between the floor and the underside of the basin. If it is a Dishwasher, you just need to find the leak and fix it.
For a Laundry washer, it is a problem with the control board and needs professional diagnosis and repair.
It's possible that the loud and fast clicking noise is being caused by the driven wheel skipping, which could indicate a problem with the transmission or clutch assembly. The motor speed at spin cycle initiation could also be related to these components.
One possibility is that the clutch is worn and not engaging properly, which could cause the driven wheel to skip and make a clicking noise. Another possibility is that the transmission is worn or damaged, which could also cause these symptoms.
It's also possible that the motor speed control is malfunctioning, which could cause the motor to run at an incorrect speed during the spin cycle. This could contribute to the belt wear issue you experienced.
I would recommend contacting a professional appliance repair technician to diagnose and repair the issue, as it may require disassembly of the machine and specialized tools to properly diagnose and fix.
