Answer Claude, Sounds like your washer is running fine. Here are the amperages you need to look for : agitation at regular speed with full tub of water 6.0 to 7.0 amps. Spin, regular with water in tub 6.5 to 7.5 amps. Spin regular speed water out of tub, full spin speed 6.0 to 7.0 amps. This is the ratings under ideal situation 9 120 VAC) under a load, If your voltage is lower than that, your amperage will increase. Thanks Read More...
