Had this washer for about a year now. I got an "LF" error code during the rinse cycle. I checked both hoses for kinks and cleaned teh screens. Still continues to give the error LF code.
Replace the water valve
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
We started having this LF code all of a sudden one day. The problem was that the drain hose was too far into the drain pipe in the wall and was siphoning the water out as fast as it was filling. Pulling the drain hose out to a proper point and zip-tying the hose off so it wouldn't fall back down again did the trick.
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.

The LF error means Long Fill.
When you start a cycle the water should come into the dispensers. If you have a good flow through the dispenser the valves will be okay.
I recommend checking the inlet water screens on the back of the washer. The inlet screens are located on the water valve. To access the screens you will turn the water off and remove the inlet hoses. The screens prevent debris from entering the valve and sometimes over time mineral deposits build up on the screens. This can block the water or slow the water fills down to a trickle. You can pull the screens out and clean them if necessary. Flush the inlets thoroughly with water when replacing the screens. If debris gets past the screens, it can cause the valves to stick open and an overflow of water can result.
While you have the fill hoses disconnected, place the ends of the hoses in a bucket and briefly turn on the faucets to check for proper water pressure and flow from both hoses.
A common reason for an L F (long fill) error on this washer is the drain hose being stuck to far down the drain standpipe.
If the drain hose is to far down the standpipe then a siphon can occur which causes the washer to fill and drain at the same time. This will cause a long fill error.

I have the same problem with the LF code coming up, it seems to happen when doing a pre-soak, not sure if there's a corrolation or not. I've had this machine for a year and a half and have the service guys out twice, once to replace the 'user board' and the other to replace the other board since it's been recalled. What a waste of money this machine was!
I just had the sears repairman out to replace the circuit board because it had F1 error for months halfway through any cycle before final rinse. Now that I was looking forward to washing clothes in peace I can't even get through the first 2 minutes of the cycle!!! LF comes on after only 2 minutes.
