Lr = Locked Rotor. This could be a Motor Controller failure, a Control Board Failure or a Motor failure. I would start by pulling off the front cover and see if you can rotate the Clutch Pulley CW the wash/agitate direction of the Clutch Pulley and CCW the Spin direction of the Clutch Pulley to make sure there is no binding in the drive system. Follow safety procedures in the Service manual remove power to the washer before you do this.

This could be a difficult issue to troubleshoot with out a known good Control Board and Motor Controller…..Rich

Maytag neptune tl what is code Lr
LR is the error code for Locked Rotor.

This could be an issue with the Motor Controller or Control Board.

I have not seen Drive Motor cause this issue to date.

If you want to investigate further I would suggest getting the FAV6800A/FAV9800A Service Manual.

Google this ""Neptune TL Washer FAV6800AWW""

This is a sticky for the FAV6800A/FAV9800A washer DIY support. Go to the 5th post down in the Sticky and you will find a link for the Service Manual.

If you want to go further in troubleshooting and possibly a DIY fix just open a new thread in that DIY forum with Model number and Serial number. That info is found tag behind the console right back side as you face the machine console.

Washer stops ane flashes lr what does this mean
The Lr error code is for Locked Rotor. See page 13 of the Service Manual for error codes.

This could be caused by a Failed Control Board, Motor Controller and possible motor issue. For the most part the motor in this machine is rock solid. Here are some links for the Service Manual and Sears Parts Direct for reference.


Troubleshooting this issue can be difficult without the known good parts that I listed above..............Rich

Maytag washer top load neptune
See this post for troubleshooting the Lr error code. . http://www.fixya.com/support/t2419091-maytag_neptune_top_load_fav6800aww_tub

Lr is locked rotor. My first thought was that this could be a Motor Controller issue. This owner replaced tried that and it did not resolve the issue. He then replaced the main Control Board and that fixed his machine. Without known good parts (Control Board Motor Controller) this might be difficult for a DIY fix.

The Service Manual for reference. Sears Parts Direct for reference.

If you are going to try to DIY the repair I will see if I can help……Rich

Wont work, flashes LR
rapoyner The "LR" error code means "locked rotor". It appears on the display after the machine has repeatedly tried to turn the motor. The cause of the problem could be the motor itself, the motor control board, the main control board or the wiring. If your washer is less then five years old most likely the parts are still under Maytag warranty. It has very sophisticated design and I wood recommend to call the Maytag authorized repair man even if the warranty is already expired. Gendos
