Error code LdL
Appliance Washer
Quick answer

LdL on a top load washer means the lid lock did not engage. An item in the load may be in the way.

Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so LdL may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

What this code may mean.

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

An item in the load may be keeping the lid from locking.

What LdL means

LdL in the display of a Whirlpool top load washer means the lid is failing to lock. Per the manual this is a lid lock that cannot lock, or a lid lock failure, and a stray item in the load could be what holds the lid back.

What the manual says to check

  1. Examine the space immediately under the lid for objects.
  2. Examine the lid lock mechanism and its surroundings for a detergent residue.

Schedule service, says the manual, if LdL turns up again afterward.
