I have a Kenmore Elite Oasis HE top loader washer; It will start but gives me an LF error.

  • trish_dvorak Jul 15, 2009

    Thanks! You know now thainking about it. It did do that when I moved in and I turn them all the way on and it worked for a while then know it's doing it again. But I know they where working on the water last week it was cut off for awhile; and It's been happening since then.

  • trish_dvorak Jul 17, 2009

    Ok! So I went home and made sure that the water valves were all the way on; they were; so I went ahead and turned them off and took them off the washer blew them out and put them back on and turned them back on. NO luck; so I called sears and the tech is coming today. $65 just to tell me what the problem is. I ope it's nothing to expensive because I can't afford it. Thanks for the help and have a Wonderful Day......

SOURCE: F error code "kenmore top load" washer oasis he3

Hi
LF means Long Fill, this error flashes when the water level does not change for a period of time after the valves are turned on OR water has disengaged the basket but control does not detect a water level change. Check whether water supply is connected and turned on. Make sure the hose is not blocked and hose screen is clear. If so make sure pressure hose connection to machine/motor control is fine. Also check the continuity of water inlet valve, use a multimeter to check the continuity. Hope this helps... Please post back if you need more information.

What is the LF code on my kenmore elite oasis

The LF code stands for long fill.. I would suspect a water inlet solenoid valve as the most likely suspect. It may be the hot or the cold valve. If the valve does not completely open the time to fill your machine takes too long. You can't replace just the one valve because the part contains all of the water inlet valves. That of course jacks up the cost but what can you do.

My Kenmore Elite Oasis washer unbalanced signal seems to be very sensitive. Only after several tries of readjusting the load to get it really even that the washer will spin without stopping. I made sure...

If the washer throws an UL error code with out any clothes in the washer then the issue must be concerned with the mechanical alignment inside the machine or a bad CCU.

The most common problem which can cause this is some sort of mechanical hinderance which does not allow the basket to move freely.

The suspension system which holds the basket in its place might be faulty and causing the unbalancing. In this model i think there are plastic ring at the bottom of the basket . Even if they are worn out or moved out of position it may cause the UL error code you are facing

Why is my kenmore elite (top loader) oasis washer HE is displaying a code of HC

The water inlet hoses are probably removed and reconnected in reverse, and then trigger the HC error code to flash indicating the hot and cold water inlet hoses are reversed. Reconnect the water inlet hoses properly and start a cycle then let us know what happens next.

What do I need to do to fix the Lf code problem on my oasis washer?

Following is the LF troubleshooting response from the Whirlpool Cabrio
Service Manual. The Cabrio is the same as the Kenmore Oasis.

“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?
Are both water faucets turned on?
Is the drain hose sticking too far into the
standpipe (siphoning)?
Is the pressure transducer hose kinked or
dislodged?
Press PAUSE/CANCEL to clear display.


It takes a while to load but following is the manual in PDF format.

Top load direct drive will not spinn, but pump

oasis checks are complex if this is what it is, most likely you will have an error code, what is it? If its not an oasis, but a reg top loader, replace the motor/transmission isolation coupler.

Kenmore Oasis HE 2708..LF error code

LF = Long Fill
If the water is on and screens are clean there is a test you can do to check the log valve. There should be a repair manual inside the front panel of the machine. If yo use a screw driver in the front to open the top you should find it on the inside of the front panel. Good Luck
