Error Code: LD Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Long Drain Time
How to Fix LD Error (Step-by-Step)
- Unplug the washer from the wall outlet to ensure safety.
- Prepare some towels and a shallow pan to catch any residual water from the drain hose and pump.
- Access the drain pump, which is usually located at the bottom front of the washer. You may need to tilt the washer or remove a lower access panel.
- Disconnect the drain hose from the pump and check for any clogs or obstructions. Clear any blockage you find.
- Inspect the pump’s impeller to see if it’s broken or blocked. If it’s damaged, the entire pump assembly will need to be replaced.
- To replace the pump, disconnect the electrical wires and mounting screws. Install the new pump, ensuring all connections are tight.
- Reassemble the washer, plug it in, and run a drain/spin cycle to test the repair.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
