This LF error code indicates that there is a water supply problem. Are both the hot and cold water faucets turned on? Turn on the water. Check the household faucets to see if the hot and cold water faucets are turned on. Completely open both faucets for proper fill.
NOTE: Both hot and cold water must be connected to the washer and turned on. The washer will not properly operate with only one incoming source of water.
Are the water inlet hoses kinked? Straighten the water inlet hoses.
Are the water inlet valve screens on the washer clogged? Turn off the water and remove inlet hoses from the inlet valves in the
back of the washer. Inside the inlet valves are screens. Remove any
accumulated film or particles from the screens. Reinstall hoses, turn on
water, and check for leaks. See the Installation Instructions for
details.
Is the water pressure less than 10 psi?
If the water pressure is too low, the washer may not properly
operate. To find out your exact pounds-per-square-inch (psi) value,
contact your local water utility company.
Is the drain hose extending more than 8" (20.3 cm) into the drainpipe?
The drain hose may be too far inside the drainpipe (standpipe) or
laundry tub. Drained water can siphon back into the washer if the drain
hose extends too far. Make sure the drain hose does not extend more than
8" (20.3 cm) into the drainpipe or laundry tub. Using the U-shaped
drain hose form as described in the Installation Instructions will
provide the appropriate length of drain hose in the drainpipe or laundry
tub.
Is the drain hose taped onto the drainpipe? Is the top of the drainpipe covered with tape?
Do not seal the drain hose into the drainpipe
with tape. The drain hose should be loose, yet secure. There must be a
gap between the drain hose and the drainpipe to allow air to flow. The
air gap will break the suction. This will keep water from being
continuously sucked out of the machine (siphoning) as it fills.
Is the drainpipe (standpipe) less than the minimum height of 39" (99 cm)?
Make sure the top of the drain is at least 39" (99 cm) high (as
measured from the floor). If the drain is below 39" (99 cm), the water
will start to flow out of the machine due to gravity. The flow of water
can create suction, (siphon) and the water will continue to drain out of
the washer.
To remove the error display, press Pause/Cancel once.
If Pause/Cancel does not work:
- Unplug the washer or disconnect the power for one minute.
- Plug in the washer or reconnect the power.
- Re-select the cycle and press Start.
NOTE: If the error remains on the display, and all of the other questions above have been checked, call for service.
Hope this helps (remember to rate this answer).
