We continuosly get an LD code on our Oasis Washer. Hoses are fine and have ran it through the clean cycle several times. any suggestions

Hi

Error code LD means long drain. This error appears when the washer takes more than 5 minutes to pump out the water till point where pressure switch resets. To resolve the issue you'll need to clean the drain hose, inspect if the drain hose is plugged. If the hose is fine, then remove the front kick panel and access the drain pump and filter, if you are unable to find the pump and filter remove the back panel as well and trace the drain hose to the bottom of the tub. There is a drain filter connected with the drain pump. It usually gets clogged, and needs to be cleaned every 6-8 months or so. The drain filter is a small white filter connected to drain pump with a hose. If it still doesn't work then you'll need to check the connections of the drain pump, check the electrical connections with a multimeter. Hope this helps... Please post back for more information.

Pressure Switch failure - remove the hose at the top of the machine, and blow in it to clear moisture/buildup.
If not - replace the Pressure switch.

ld sure sounds like lid switch problems. Suprised to see this so soon, but I did see one come apart on a fairly new Whirlpool. Luckily, it should be easy to check. Unplug the machine first.

you can use a shop wet vac on the drain hose to **** the rest of the water out then you can remove the hoses to check to see if anything is suct in hoses or pump-,mike

“F21” (AKA SD) is a Long (SLOW) Drain error (LD). If the drain time exceeds 8 minutes this error code will be displayed. In addition, a “SUDS” error may also be displayed. This may be an indication of a drain pump problem and/or clog in the drain line. You will need to check the following:


1.First, attempt to unplug the washer for at LEAST 30 minutes to reset the Central Control Unit (CCU). Sometimes this is all that is required to correct momentary glitches with the unit. If the error code returns, proceed to step 2.
2.Check the drain hose to make sure it is not kinked or clogged.
3.Check the electrical connections to the pump and ensure the pump is running.
4.Remove the drain pump filter and check for foreign objects and/or debris.

If the above procedures do not correct the problem, it is recommended by the manufacturer to replace the drain pump.

ld error code is long drain some thimg clogged up pump ,, first check drain hose could be too far down and siphoning,, if not repl/ or cleaned out pump.....

LD means long drain. Check to see if there is something clogging your drain hose. If not remove the drain pump from the bottom of the washer tub and clean it out. Also clean the recirculating pump. That should fix it. if not replace the drain pump.

I had the same problem. After unplugging and plugged it in several times, I got it to switch to a wash cycle. But now it beeps every 20 seconds.

ld stands for long drain. If you can remove the bottom panel you will see the pump in the middle front which has a clean out you can unscrew. There is usually obstructions in the clean out such as a sock causing the long drain. When u remove the clean out cover alot of water will come out so a wet vac comes in handy.

Rod, there a two pumps on this model, drain and recirculation. The back panel is fairly easy to remove. Once the back panel is removed the drain pump will be on the left looking at it from the back. You can remove the hoses to the pump and check to see if any thing is caught in the hoses or the impeller itself. Careful the edges on the panel can be sharp. It's ok to tip the washer forward so it will be easier to work on. Then again, you could call for warranty service. If the service man is a half way decent cat, he won't charge you.
