I have a Cabrio washer and have been getting LD error. I took the pump out and the water came gushing out , the hose is free and clear so there are no plugs, but when I have it drain and rince, the hose jerks once but no water comes out, then the LD error comes back.

-   My machine washes one load usually with out problems...then I am out of luck, because the ld light comes on and I am stuck ! Sometimes, after waiting a while, the rinse & drain cycle will work. Other days I have to unload tne wet laundry and finish at my neighbors. My husband took the enite machine loose trying to fix the problem, but to no avail... -   bknewmoon

-   My cabrio started this today, the LD code. It will not do anything. It won't drain, spin...nothing. I'm a little upset about this.
Is there water in the bottom of the tub? If yes then open back of washer and remove drain pump (on left side) and pull off of tub and clear whatever is blocking its impeller. If the water is all gone and drained but pump stays on for several minutes and then gives "LD" fault then open back and check the small clear tube that is attached to the tub. Make sure is not blocked with debris and check tube and tub for anything that could block the small clear tube. If these are ok then remove 3 screws in back of the control panel, pull open control panel and check the clear tub all the way up from the tub to the washer controller board (computer) make sure it is not kinked or disconnected. If not then the problem is most likely the pressure sensor on the (computer). This unit will have to be replaced. You can test the sensor by doing the following: 1. When the "LD" fault comes on start by pressing the pause button. then pull the clear tube off of the computer board. Then attach a tight fitting drinking straw over the sensor. Press the start button and wait for 60 seconds - If the washer does not start the spin cycle on its own after the 60 seconds then **** on the drinking straw that you attached to the pressure sensor earlier. The sucking action should reset the sensor thus telling the computer that the water is drained and it will start the spin cycle. Just remember if you have to do this to get the washer to spin - that means the sensor is damaged most likely from moisture traveling up the tube over time. The computer board will need to be replaced. I believe it costs $205 without shipping. Hope this helps.
It appears that the pressure switch that monitors the water level is not working correctly. So I called Whirlpool and had them send me a new controller board. I replaced it and the machine works GREAT!
I had to call a repair service a couple of months ago due to error code. When washer was ready to spin it stopped. They had to replace the brain of the washer. Cost me over $400.00 bucks. That was the second time it broke. The first time it wouldn't drain. Drain pump was replaced. Now it got an error code again today. I just sat and paused and started about 20 times and it finally finished my load. Will call repair on Monday. This is the worst washer (Cabrio top loader) I have ever purchased in my life. My moms 300.00 dollar roper from Lowes works better. The dry ...no problems yet (knock on wood) If yours wont drain or spin get ready to spend some cash for the repair. I always though Whirlpool was a dependable brand. Never again will I purchase them again.

Went thru it's wash & rinse cycles but then the load (3 T-shirts) became unbalanced & it wouldn't spin. It sat unbalanced & beeping for a time because I wasn't in the room. After correcting the balance, it still won't spin. It is barely 2 and a half years old. Tried the 'drain & spin' setting, wouldn't spin. Emptied it and while it "thumps" like it is trying to spin, it never succeeds.

I get the LD error intermittently during wash cycles. The pump is clear as well as the drain tube. I can unplug the power for a few minutes and then rinse/spin or drain/spin and it will drain perfectly. It may or may not work fine the next wash, but the problem will return.

We had an authorized worpool repair man look at our machine. He told my wife that he could not repair the problem until we started using higrade washing detergent. We currently use ultra Tide. I thought Tide was good soap????? Whay kind of soap should I be using????????
