Just today when I went wash clothes on the express wash it didn't work and I had two letters on my machine LF what does this mean and how an I fixit so it works like it usually does
Re: Just today when I went wash clothes on the express...
LF means Long Fill. Lack of water pressure has caused the machine to warn you that it is taking too long. Check the valves on the fill hoses to be sure they are open.

Do you mean "LF" if so that's a "long Fill" code. usually means the machine is taking to long to fill. Check your water supply line. Make sure the faucets are fully open, no kinks in the hose's or sediment in any inline filters etc.
"LF" means Low Flow, referring to the incoming water flow to your washing machine. Either you have low water pressure, or the water valve(s) at the wall aren't fully open, or (more likely) one of the water hoses are kinked or perhaps even defective. You should use only normal washing machine hoses (the cheap ones) - seems the smart ones (flood-sensing type) may be problematic with some washing machines. Hope this helps!
Generally you could have two problems. Number one may be a sticking water solonoid that doesn't want to close after the fill cycle has stopped. Number two, if the machine has not started to agitate the clothes that means the timer has not reached that part of the cycle and is stuck in the fill mode. My guess is number two would be more likley, the timers **** out nowand then.
Hope that helps
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.
cheak the filter witch is at the intake and if when it is going to fill does it buzz if dose that means the vale is working if not call a repaire man out hope this helps
The LF code indicates "Long Fill" which means it is taking too long for the water to fill the washer (times out). From the owner's manual:
"LF" (Washer is taking too long to fill)
Check the following:
Are the water inlet hoses kinked or clogged?
Are the water inlet valve screens clear?
Press STOP to clear display.
Here's a suggestion I found that worked for me:
Check your drain hose to see it it's stuffed too far down the standpipe. Another poster had this problem and it gave her LF errors.
If the drain hose hangs down too far it can siphon water out of the washer, and then the washer thinks it's taking too long too fill.
There's supposed to be a U-shaped plastic bracket that sets the length of the drain hose where it goes into the standpipe. Your installer may have tossed it.
