Maytag washer Bravo Xl will not fill with water. It will then go into a LF code. I know LF means low fill but I don,tknow how fix this problem

possible bad level sensor for water

Water valve stopped up. Check screens in the valve and hoses if present in hoses.

LF means Long Fill. Here is a video showing you how to fix that code: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1M-XgRT3obc I hope that helps! :)

LF means long fill....if the flow meter does not detect
the correct amount of water entering the machine the
code will appear. Google Maytag front load washer
LF code...there are several links including a video
that should help you solve the problem.

Hi Sherry,

The code definition for LF is a LONG Fill (F30). What does that mean is the next question? Here goes.

a. The fill hose may have a pinch or fold between the connections on the pressure in .
b. Are the hose screens plugged at the connections.
c. Is the water siphoning out of the drain hose ?
d. Is the water pressure at peak, check valve, filters before washer.

I did pretty good from memory but that link leads you to a printout you can keep right by your washer. Most of the occurrences are easy to fix without a technician. Hope this makes your day. Better. Fare. Well.

LF (F30)
LF flashes when the control don't sense any water coming in like it is supposed to do. Things to check:
Hoses connected; water turned wide open.
Hose screens plugged.
Is water siphoning out due to having the drain hose too low? (30 inches above the floor)
Pressure hose from tub to control loose, pinched, hole, Sediment in tub? Blow that tubing out and re-secure; retry with water OUT of tub so the pressure can properly build in that tubing.

That means low flow. Turn up water valve. If that don't work then shut your water off take off hoses and clean the screens on the washer they are dirty that happens with hardwater

Have same problem. Service tech said LF code is caused by low water pressure coming into machine. Tech verified water flow looked fine, getting new controller installed tomorrow.

In reference to the LF error code on your Kenmore Washer

When your washer displays error LF , it is due to low water pressure, slow or continuous fill.All washers are designed to operate with a water supply pressure of 20-100 PSI. When the pressure drops below 20 PSI the washer can have the following problems;

* Slow Fill- low water pressure reduces the speed at which water flows into the machine.
o Verify the pressure at all other water sources in the house (i.e. sinks, showers, etc..). If you find other places where the pressure is low, the problem is not with the machine but with the water supply.
* Continuous Fill- The valve may not fully seat under 20 PSI which would allow for a constant flow even when the machine isn't supposed to be filling.
o Contact the water company to verify the pressure being supplied to the house
* Error Codes- LF for long fill or FH for no water detected.
o A plumber may need to be consulted if the pressure is found to be too low.
