16 years is really impressive for one of those. How many belts did it chew up? If it was like the one we had for nine years (ours was a '97), my guess would be three or four of them.
I would junk the machine and go buy some Lotto tickets.
Anything you buy as a replacement, vintage or new, will rinse better than your Amana ever did.

Yes, stay away from the new SQ machines (apologies to the grand total of one member here who thinks otherwise).
You can comb through CL and try to find a 2017 or older SQ if you like the long stroke agitation. Nothing else on the market currently will provide that. Nothing.
Prepare to be advised that Whirlpool-sourced direct drive is your best option. I don't care for DD machines due to their short stroke agitation and annoying thumping. |

Could someone please explain how the braking mechanism works? Are the "pads" supposed to be tight inside this groove?

Ok, please disregard the brake question above, I figured that out. And I found the culprit inside the gearbox. The teeth are wiped out on this piece. Of course the question now is, will it be possible to find one?
