Quick answer

Ld on a Whirlpool top load washer is a long drain alert: the washer takes too long to drain water.

What this code may mean.

A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.

Ld means the washer takes too long to drain.

A Whirlpool top load washer that shows Ld is warning about a long drain. The drain pump system has a problem, and water is leaving the tub too slowly.

Check the drain hose

  • Look at how deep the hose goes into the standpipe; more than 4.5″ (114 mm) could be the cause. Confirm the plumbing is set up correctly with the drain hose form, and fasten the hose firmly to the drainpipe or tub. Never cover the drain opening with tape.
  • Hold the hose end at a height above 36 inches from the floor. A lower end lets the washer siphon, so it fills and drains at once.
  • Look the hose over for a kink or a clog.

Related codes

  • Fod or F18: excess suds and a restricted drain hose, compact front load
  • LdL: an item in the load may keep the lid from locking
