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

Unplug the washing machine from the power source for safety.
Shut off the hot and cold water supply valves at the wall.
Unscrew the water inlet hoses from the back of the washer. Have a small bucket or towel ready to catch any residual water.
Look inside the two water inlet ports on the washer. You will see small filter screens.
Carefully remove the screens with a pair of needle-nose pliers.
Clean any sediment or debris from the screens using a small brush and water.
Reinstall the clean filter screens, reconnect the water hoses securely, and turn the water supply back on before plugging the washer in again.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
