How to Fix LO FL Error (Step-by-Step)

First, ensure that both the hot and cold water supply valves connected to the washer are turned on completely.
Unplug the washer from the electrical outlet and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Unscrew the water inlet hoses from the back of the machine and check for any kinks or twists that could restrict water flow.
Inspect the small filter screens located inside the water inlet ports on the washer itself. Debris can build up here.
Gently pull the screens out with pliers and clean them thoroughly with a small brush under running water.
Reinsert the screens, reattach the hoses securely, and ensure they are not kinked.
Plug the washer back in and turn the water supply on to test the flow.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
