I have a whirlpool calypso washer and it will not rinse and spin. I am not sure whats wrong but keep getting the error code "ld" and "ob". I re balanced the load but it still says this even without clothes. I am handy and want to try to fix the machine myself first before calling a tech out. Thank you so much... Cherry

    Maybe I should explain it better... I am having a problem with my Cabrio top load. It starts the cycle on wash but when it gets to the drain and spin part and code LD comes up? Any idea what may be wrong? If I hit the pause button, lift the whole top of the washer up, and then hit the start button, the cycle will continue normally. Once it is drained down and goes into the rinse cycle, I put the cover back down, the machine will do the same thing again when it gets to the drain and spin cycle. I once again have to hold the cover up for the last 10 minutes of the cycle to get it to drain and spin out properly.

The error code is LD. There is nothing wrong with the draining. If you choose the extra rinse and spin it will go thru that cycle just fine.

If the machine is draining in 5 minutes or less the operating pressure switch may be intermittently malfunctioning.
The attached manual should help. Notice the test on page 58.

I have the error LD and OB also wont do spin or rinse cyles

The "LD" code or "long drain" indicates a pump/drain related issue. Check the drain line for kinks or obstructions. Check the pump. Remove the hoses from the pump and use a flashlight to look into the suction port. Make sure nothing is clogging the pump (like the occasional stray sock) and check the pump impeller. Make sure the impeller has no broken/missing blades and that it spins freely. If any blades are missing/broken or if you can't get the impeller to spin freely, the pump is defective. Hopefully it's just a clogged drain line, pump, or jammed impeller. Sorry for your trouble and I hope this helped. Best wishes.

Calypso washer LD and OB codes - Controller issue?

inside the front panel there should be a pouch with a multi-language guide in it, it will tell you how to run a diagnostic troubleshoot with it.. i got mine a few days ago, its former owner said it woudln`t drain and would shut down, i came to find the "pump" that the tiny seperate motor spins underneath had a hair tie stuck in it.. after i removed the pump assembly and filled it with alittle canola oil to make it spin alittle more free, i removed the hair tie and its been workin like new since.. shame the lady who gave it away to me didn`t care to take the time for someone to come fix it..

Washer won't empty water....

Ld Long drain "Ld" flashes if it takes longer than 5 minutes to pump out water to a point where the operating pressure switch resets.

Press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display.

Ld and ob error codes

hello.........
“LD” stands for “long drain,” meaning it took an excessively long time for water to drain out of the washer. Common causes for this are kinked drain hose or clothing, like panties or socks, caught in the pump suction hose. Why, I’ve even heard of bra wires coming loose and getting stuck in that hose, collecting all sorts of gookus and pinching off the flow of water to the pump. Can you imagine? Yea verily, as surely as the Sacred Suds doth eternally pass my lips, the “LD” error code springs forth from such anomalies.

What does ld mean on my washer?

op is probably ob, off balance, the ld is long discharge, most likely the pump is bad or full of junk, the origional pumps were updated to a better design so as not to get stopped up.

Ld and ob codes

LD code means your pump is cloged with lint or small piece of clothing such as a sock. I had the same code on my washer and sure enough i found my pump cloged with lint from a blanket my wife washed. hope this helps. sorry I cant help on the other code.
