If your washer is not spinning and water is standing in the tub, check for proper drain hose installation, especially if your “spin” light is on. This light will turn on after 10 minutes of the drain pump being on with no water level change. This can happen if the drain hose is too far down the drain pipe.
When the cycle doesn't advance, it's probably the timer or a cold-water supply problem: It's the timer, if your washing machine fills with water and begins agitating, but the timer never advances--or if the washer is in a spin cycle and the timer won't advance. Then you need to replace the timer.
If your top load washing machine (or some older front load washers) is stuck on one continuous cycle and will not advance and forward to the next wash cycle, then most likely the washer timer is faulty and needs replacement. The timer on your washing machine controls all aspects of the wash, spin, and rinse cycles.
1 Be sure the machine is plugged in and turned on. If necessary, check the receptacle it's plugged into for power, using a working lamp, appliance, or voltage tester. Be sure the washer lid is closed completely. 2 If the receptacle seems dead, check the circuit breaker or the fuse that serves it.

Check for a bad shift actuator
It could be worth checking the shift actuator for issues too- the washer may stay on sensing fill if it is not able to shift position before a wash cycle.
If the washer overheats, the thermal fuse will blow. If the line fuse blows, the washer won't start. To determine if the thermal fuse is at fault, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the fuse does not have continuity, replace it.

Make sure the washer is loaded properly
Another potential reason why your Amana washer won't go past sensing fill is a huge than recommended load size. The solution is obviously to empty extra clothing items and ensure the washer has the optimal load size before trying to wash again.
Door Locked at the end of the Cycle
If the washer will not unlock at the end of a wash cycle, unplug the washer or disconnect power. Wait approximately 2 minutes for control to reset. Reconnect power to washer (plug in). Run a "Drain and Spin" cycle.
