Whirlpool Washing Machine (Top Load) LdU error code

Difficulty: Easy · Cost: $0–$100 · Duration: 1m

The LdU code on your Whirlpool top load HE washer means the lid cannot unlock because the washer has detected objects sitting on top of the lid applying downward pressure. This is a safety feature — the lid will not unlock if something is pressing on it. Remove any objects from the top of the washer such as a laundry basket or detergent bottles.

Common causes

A laundry basket, detergent bottles, or other objects are sitting on top of the washer lid applying downward pressure

How to fix it

1

Remove all objects from the top of the washer lid — including laundry baskets, bottles, or anything resting on it
2

The lid should unlock automatically once the weight is removed
3

If LdU persists after removing all objects contact a qualified technician or schedule service
