LF - Error Code
Possible Solutions
Did you receive an F8 E1 or LF washer fill alert?
If F8 E1 or LF (long fill) appears in the display, the washer is taking too long to fill. It's possible the drain hose extends more than 4.5" (114 mm) into the standpipe. Check plumbing for correct drain hose installation. Use a drain hose form and attach securely to the drainpipe or tub. Do not tape over the drain opening. Any of these drain hose issues can cause the washer to siphon (fill and drain at the same time), and the washer never fills to the expected level.
Either the F8E1 or the LF error codes may indicate that there is a problem with the water supply going to the washer. Please ensure that both inlet hoses are connected and that both hot and cold water supplies are turned on. This washer has sensors that detect the water supply, and requires both hoses to have water going to the water valve. If it does not detect that both water supply hoses are turned on, the control detects a problem with the water pressure sensor. The lid will lock, and the machine will enter a pump-out mode for 8 minutes.
Is the drain hose correctly installed?
Check the drain hose for proper installation. Use the U-shaped drain hose form on the drain hose and securely attach to the drainpipe (standpipe) or tub. Check that only 4.5" (113 mm) of drain hose is in the drainpipe (standpipe). Do not tape over the drain opening.
The minimum drainpipe (standpipe) height requirement is 39" (99 cm).
Make sure the drain hose is not kinked or clogged. Straighten the hose for adequate water flow. Remove any blockage from the drainpipe of the utility sink.
