Quick answer

A Whirlpool top load washer shows LdL when the lid will not lock. The manual points to items in the load and detergent build-up.

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.

Whirlpool

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.

LdL in brief

  • Applies to Whirlpool top load washers.
  • Shown when the lid lock will not lock.
  • Possible reason in the manual: something in the load is holding the lid from locking.

Two checks before anything else

Start with the area directly beneath the lid and clear anything sitting there. Then inspect the lid lock mechanism and wipe away detergent build-up if you see any.

Should LdL return, the manual advises booking service.

Codes that look alike

Lid messages are easy to mix up. See LdU and Lid for the other lid displays, or Ld if the washer is slow to drain.
