Thanks to Owner-Manuals.com! This manual was exactly what I needed. As Amana was purchased by Maytag and later by Whirlpool, there was no way to receive it from their websites. I was lucky to find this resource.
A comprehensive Operating and Service Manual. All schematics are complete and easy to read. The PCB drawings and complete parts list are very helpful. I would definitely recommend this manual.

*Toll saver
When you call the unit from a remote operation, the number of rings will tell you if there are any new messages. If the unit answers on the 2nd ring, there is at least one new message. If the unit answers on the 4th ring, there are no new messages. To save the toll charges for the call, hang up immediately when you hear the 3rd ring. The 3rd ring indicates that there are no new messages.
