What this code may mean.

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

Ld is a long drain alert on a top load washer.

What the alert says

Ld, shown as drain pump system problem: long drain, means a top load Whirlpool washer is taking too long to drain.

Where to look

  1. Insertion depth. A drain that goes in further than 4.5″ (114 mm) into the standpipe is a possible cause. Verify the hose installation, fit the drain hose form and fasten it firmly to the drainpipe or tub. The drain opening must not be covered with tape.
  2. Height. Keep the hose end above 36 inches from the floor, or the washer may siphon, meaning it fills and drains simultaneously.
  3. Kinks and clogs. Inspect the hose for both.
