Washer is taking too long to fill.

Meaning

Washer is taking too long to fill.

The LF error indicates that the washer has detected an extended fill time. Kenmore explains that this code appears when the washer does not reach the expected water level within the programmed time window, often due to restricted water flow or failing inlet valves.

  • Cycle does not progress past fill
  • Washer repeatedly clicks inlet valves

Causes
