Fixitnow.com Samurai Appliance Repair Man: Appliance Repair Wisdom for the Ages: Mailbag: Whirlpool/Kenmore Calypso Washer "LD" Error (http://fixitnow.com/2004/01/mailbag-whirlpoolkenmore-calypso.htm)
"After swilling copious quantities of the sacred fermented grain beverage, I looked up the "LD" code in the Whirlpool Calypso service manual. "LD" stands for "long drain," meaning it took an excessively long time for water to drain out of the washer. Common causes for this are kinked drain hose or clothing, like panties or socks, caught in the pump suction hose. Why, I've even heard of bra wires coming loose and getting stuck in that hose, collecting all sorts of gookus and pinching off the flow of water to the pump. Can you imagine? Yea verily, as surely as the Sacred Suds doth eternally pass my lips, the "LD" error code springs forth from such anomalies. Can I hear an Amen?"
