Kenmore elite washer problem

Hello, my washer stops in the middle of the cycle and doesn't drain the water. The display shows: Ld, or another time Fl. Do you know what it means? I appreciate your help My Kenmore ELITE HE3t is stuck. The rinse cycle stoped and the time remaining flashes. No change upon trying to cancel and restart...just changes the time remaining. The rinse/spin status light is on and the flashing time remiaing will not go off. My HE3t front load started having problems clothes being wet when removing them and needed more spin cycle. NOW I have this related problem. What to do next?

Sounds as if you have a drain issue, most common cause of fault is theres something stuck in the pump housing. remove the lower acess panel(3 screws along the bottom of the forn of unit) youll gain acess to the pump housing, remove the large cover to the "button trap" by uncscrewimg the cover, it will be righthin front of you in the center of machine when cover removed, im sure youll find your blockage within there

    Thanks for your response. I have checked the pump and hose, and all is clean. I ran Diagnostics, and same thing, it stops at C7 (Drain). BTW, my machine is a top load. Do you think it's the electronic board? Thanks again.

My washer stops in the middle of the cycle what does this mean Flashes LD Error

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. Error Ld means long drain and it flashes when the water level will not change even after the drain pump is on. To resolve this issue you’ll need to check the drain hose and the drain pump for any blockages. Also check if the pump is running fine. Please do rate the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.


Thanks

Kenmore elite washer does not finish the drain cycle and it shows a LD error and does not finish washing.

LD error is for long drain. The pump filter in the pump assembly is probably clogged. Remove front lower panel, pump assembly is in the front with a cap that unscrews. Once cap is unscrewed you can slide out the filter and clean. Remove as much water as possible from basket before taking off pump cap or else water will come flooding out when filter is removed. Reinstall and run drain spin cycle. Should drain ok.

Displays ld

Hi, how are ya?

Hello, LD stands for long drain.
If all the water isn't out of the unit within a certain time, the ld will flash.
Could be 2 things.

1) There's lint stuck in the pump preventing the water to drain properly or

2) You're using too much soap causing lots of suds also preventing the pump from draining properly. If this is the case, what you need to do is run the washer on full load with no detergent and clothes. Let it go thru the cycle and get rid of eccess suds. This is most likely your problem.
