Call amana and get it fixed under warranty. When the warranty runs out scrap it and get one from a different company. Mine has been repaired three times under warranty. Next time it breaks I'm buying a different washer from a different company. This machine was junk from the factory.

I did disassemble mine to wash it. Have you tried soaking it in some hot bleach water? (Just a cap full should do the trick)

I throw some warm water and vinegar, shake it and rinse it well. Since you can't really see inside of the toy, I'm afraid to use dish detergent on it (can't see if all the suds are out without using like 5 gallons of water rinsing it out). The water and vinegar has been working for a little over a year and a half now without problem!

I washed mine and it was never the same. Couldn't use it after that. Recommend hanging it or laying it out in the sun, brushing with a brush. If that doesn't work, pitch it and get a new one! Then, check your bananas every day or so and towel-wipe any moisture away.

I just spilt coffee on mine and I am going to try spray and wash and the gentle cycle. Low in the dryer.

I havn't had that prob-I hand wash. Top knob does unscrew so you can pull plunger out. Maybe then shake water out?

Well, mine doesn't rock, so it likely is a defect. Maybe you should rinse it and then put something heavy on top for a day or two!

That's not normal. If it doesn't wash off, then return it for a replacement.

Try running a tank of vinegar through it. I always use distilled water. If it's over a year old might be time for a new one.

Dear Jared, Unfortunately, the manufacturers do not list the average time for a wash cycle with their specifications since it can vary greatly depending on the settings you have chosen. If you are concerned that it is running too long, please contact Samsung directly and they can help you troubleshoot if it is running too long for that setting.

I would guess that it is filled with some type of styrofoam beads. I have washed mine successfully. I use Woolite and cold water to be on the safe side and do a vinegar rinse to remove all traces of the detergent and then rinse in clear water again. For the vinegar rinse I add about two or three tablespoons of plain white vinegar to about two to three quarts of cold water. I just guess. Hang and let air dry for 24 hours. I always order a few spares so I have a clean one while the other one dries.

No help -- mine is still in perfect condition. It takes a LOT of room to wash it.

I also have this problem and I have two of these machines. It is horrible, I washed it and replaced the water and a few hours later the same smell and metallic taste, Im sick about it. I have been using this for my newborn for 2 months!! It is either the steel plate at the bottom or its the plastic, either way, its awful! I called the company and they said wash it out with vinegar, still doesn't work.

Wow, I did not have this problem with mine at all. If washing with hot water and regular dish detergent doesn't do the trick, I'd suggest soaking it in a solution of white vinegar and cool water (1:1), then washing again.

Check to make sure the bottle of cleaning solution is seated correctly, all the way in. If you're sure it is, you may have a defective unit and should contact the manufacturer. I'm sure they will stand behind it.

It should change with hot water. Mine works perfectly fine, even after hand washes. You should ask for a replacement.

Maybe not getting it rinsed out completely. Try using less with natural products you don't need much
