Amana NFW5800HW2 washer Parts

Yes. Many Amana front-load washers, including model NFW5800HW2, use a drain pump filter (coin trap) that can collect lint and small items; cleaning it helps prevent drain problems, standing water, and door-lock issues. Follow the steps in the NFW5800HW2 owner's manual for your exact access method.

Where the “filter” is on this washer

On front-load designs, the cleanable filter is typically part of the drain pump system. Your manual notes that on some models a dirty drain pump filter can cause performance problems and points to “Cleaning the Drain Pump Filter/Draining Residual Water.”

Common signs it needs cleaning:

• Water left in the tub after the cycle
• Slow draining or no drain
• Rattling or grinding during drain
• Door stays locked because water remains
• Musty odor from trapped debris

How we recommend cleaning it (safe, typical method)

Use the procedure in the NFW5800HW2 owner's manual first; the general process is:

• Unplug the washer.
• Place towels and a shallow pan under the front of the washer.
• Drain residual water slowly (small hose or controlled loosening, depending on design).
• Remove debris from the pump filter area (coins, hair pins, lint).
• Reinstall and tighten the filter cap; run a DRAIN & SPIN to confirm normal draining.

Parts that are commonly involved if draining is still poor

If cleaning the filter area does not restore normal draining, the issue is often in the pump or drain path.

Symptom	Most common cause	What to check next
Hums but won’t drain	Pump jammed or failing	Inspect/replace washer drain pump assembly W11458345
Drains slowly	Partial blockage or kink	Inspect washer drain hose assembly W11549455 and clamps
Intermittent drain errors	Air leak or pressure sensing issue	Check hose, pressure switch W11456953 for cracks/loose fit

Why it matters

A clean drain pump filter protects the drain pump, helps the washer complete the spin cycle, and prevents leftover water that can keep the door locked at the end of a cycle.

Most repairs on an Amana washer like model NFW5800HW2 typically cost $250 to $490 total (parts plus labor). Your final price depends on the failed part (such as a water valve or drain pump), local labor rates, and whether the repair is covered under the warranty terms in the NFW5800HW2 owner’s manual.

Typical repair costs for common failures

These are the most common repair categories we see for front-load washers, and they often drive the total bill:

• Water not filling or filling slowly: inlet valve, clogged inlet screens, or supply hose issues
• Not draining or leaving water in the tub: drain pump, drain hose restriction, or pump filter blockage
• Door won’t lock or cycle won’t start: door lock or door strike problems
• Overfilling or wrong water level: pressure switch system (sensor and pressure hose)
• Leaks at the door: door boot (bellow) wear or clamp issues

Parts that commonly affect the total price

If you are pricing a repair, the part cost is usually the biggest variable. Here are model-matched examples for NFW5800HW2:

Symptom	Likely part	Example model-matched part	Why it fails
Won’t drain	Drain pump	Washer drain pump assembly W11458345	Debris, wear, or motor failure
Won’t fill	Water valve	Water valve W11688995	Solenoid failure, sediment
Door won’t lock	Door lock/strike	Strike, door W11316914	Misalignment, wear
Water level issues	Pressure system	Hose, pressure switch W11456953	Kink, pinhole leak, blockage

What to check before scheduling a repair

These quick checks can prevent paying for an unnecessary service call:

• Confirm both hot and cold supply valves are fully open
• Inspect fill hoses for kinks; replace worn hoses as a set if needed
• Clean the drain path (coins, lint, small socks) and check for a drain hose restriction
• Make sure the door closes firmly and the strike is not loose
• Review the troubleshooting and maintenance guidance in the NFW5800HW2 owner’s manual

Why it matters

A front-load washer repair estimate is mostly a combination of diagnosis time + labor + the specific part. Knowing the symptom (no fill, no drain, no start, leak) helps you target the likely component and avoid replacing the wrong part.

For the Amana NFW5800HW2 washer, a hard reset is a power reset: turn the washer off, unplug it (or switch the breaker off) for 5 minutes, then restore power and press POWER to clear any stuck display codes. Use the NFW5800HW2 owner's manual for model-specific control steps.

Quick hard reset steps (power reset)

• Press POWER to turn the washer off.
• Unplug the washer (or turn the circuit breaker off).
• Wait 5 minutes to let the control board fully discharge.
• Restore power.
• Press POWER once to clear the display, then press POWER again and restart your cycle.

If the panel is “frozen” or won’t respond

Sometimes the washer is not actually locked up; the controls are locked.

• If you see “Loc”, press and hold CONTROL LOCK for 3 seconds to unlock.
• If you see “PF” (power failure), press POWER once to clear it, then press POWER again and restart.
• If you see “dr” (door not opened between cycles), open and close the door, then clear with POWER and restart.

Common “reset” situations and what to do

What you see	What it means	What to do next
F8 E1 or “Lo FL”	Water supply error	Let the washer drain if it starts a drain routine; then clear with POWER and correct water supply issues
F9 E1	Drain pump system error	Check drain hose installation and standpipe height; then clear with POWER and retry
“rL”	Load detected during Clean Washer cycle	Remove items, press POWER to clear, then restart the Clean Washer cycle

Why it matters

A hard reset clears temporary control glitches, but it will not fix an ongoing problem like a clogged inlet screen, kinked fill hose, or a drain restriction. If you keep getting drain-related errors, the washer drain pump assembly W11458345 is a common part involved in draining issues on front-load washers.

Most Amana washers, including the Amana NFW5800HW2, typically last 8 to 10 years with normal household use. With consistent care (proper detergent, correct loading, and preventing freeze damage), it’s common to reach the upper end of that range.

Typical lifespan and what affects it

A washer’s service life depends more on use and maintenance than the brand name alone.

• Loads per week: more cycles equals more wear on bearings, pump, and door lock
• Detergent habits: using HE detergent and measuring correctly helps prevent residue and odors
• Installation conditions: a level floor reduces vibration and stress on the tub and suspension
• Water quality: hard water and iron can shorten valve, dispenser, and seal life
• Temperature exposure: avoid storage/operation below 32°F to prevent water-related damage

Quick care checklist (best ROI)

Use these habits to extend life on a front-load washer like the NFW5800HW2:

• Use only HE detergent; do not over-dose
• Load items loosely so they can tumble freely
• Leave the door slightly open between loads to dry the bellow area
• Run a monthly cleaning cycle (or hot cycle) to reduce buildup
• Keep the washer level and stable; re-check leveling after moving

What “end of life” usually looks like

These are the most common high-impact failures as washers age.

Symptom	Common cause	Typical fix
Won’t drain	Clogged or failing pump	Clean out, then replace pump if needed
Won’t fill or fills slowly	Inlet valve screens clogged or valve failing	Clean screens, replace valve
Door won’t lock/unlock	Door lock or strike wear	Replace lock or strike

Model-matched parts we commonly see used for these repairs include the washer drain pump assembly W11458345 and the water valve W11688995.

Why it matters

Knowing the expected 8 to 10 year lifespan helps you decide whether to repair or replace. If your NFW5800HW2 is within that window, fixing a drain, fill, or door-lock issue is often the most cost-effective way to keep it running.

For model-specific care and operating guidance, follow the NFW5800HW2 owner's manual.
