Electrolux Washer (Kenmore) Error Code Ld
Long drain
Common Causes
- 1Clogged drain pump filter
- 2Kinked drain hose
- 3Drain pump obstruction
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
- 1
Note whether the tub drains slowly versus not at all — Ld is the "slow but eventually empties" case, which steers you toward a fouled impeller rather than a hard plug
- 2
Open the lower access panel, seat towels, and empty the drain pump coin trap of the lint film that glazes Kenmore impellers over time
- 3
Confirm the standpipe height sits within 30 to 96 inches and that the hose end is not shoved deep enough to siphon
- 4
Spin the impeller by hand once the trap is out — a gritty or notchy feel means a bearing dragging the motor into a slow drain
- 5
Because F02 and F21 are the legacy aliases of Ld, cross-check an older service sheet if the display shows one of those instead
- 6
Run a rinse-and-spin with the panel off and watch the flow — a weak, pulsing stream confirms the pump, a strong stream that backs up confirms the hose
Pro Diagnostic Tip
Ld ("long drain") and its older-platform aliases F02 and F21 are all the same fault: the tub did not empty within the drain timeout. If the pump hums loudly but water stays put, a coin or hairpin is jamming the impeller — open the pump housing and clear it rather than replacing the pump. A slow-but-eventually-draining machine more often has a lint-glazed impeller or a drain hose pushed too far down the standpipe, which siphons and re-fills. This is a drain-side fault, distinct from LF, which is a fill problem.
