How to Fix LDU Error (Step-by-Step)

First, unplug the washer to prevent any electrical shock and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Remove the top panel of the washer to get to the lid lock mechanism.
Inspect the lock for any jammed clothing or debris that might be preventing it from unlocking.
If there are no obstructions, the lid lock assembly is likely faulty and needs to be replaced. Disconnect the wiring and remove the old lock.
Install the new lid lock assembly, reassemble the washer, and plug it back in to test.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
Check for simple blockages (lint screen, drain path, or filter) and clean anything you find.
