LF or F8E1 — Long Fill

What does LF or F8E1 mean?

This fault indicates that the water level is not changing, or the washer is taking longer than 10 minutes to fill. This can be caused by issues with water supply, drain hose installation, or water pressure.

• Water supply not connected and turned on.
• Hose screens are plugged.
• Water siphoning out of the drain hose.
• Low water pressure.
• Pressure hose connection from tub to main control pinched, kinked, plugged, or leaking air.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Verify that both the hot and cold water supply faucets are fully open.

2. 2

   Check the water inlet hoses for kinks and ensure the screens on the water inlet valves are not clogged. Clean them if necessary.

3. 3

   Ensure the drain hose is installed correctly, not too low, and not sealed tightly into the drain pipe, which can cause siphoning.

4. 4

   Check your home's water pressure. If it's consistently low, other household faucets might also show reduced flow.

5. 5

   Unplug the washer for 30 seconds, then plug it back in to reset the control.
