An LD code indicates a long drain was detected by the control.check for a kink in the drain hose. the most common reason for this code is something caught in the pump. many times a piece of clothing(small sock,shoe lace or string from a sweatshirt etc..) gets stuck and restricts the water flow to the drain...the pump can be removed by tipping the washer forward approx 45 degrees(use something to prop the washer up so it doesnt fall all the way to the floor)then remove the back panel. the pump will be gray &have 2 hoses. calypsos used 2 styles of pump . one was integrated into the pump motor and the other was attached to the pump motor with 2 springclips.remove the clamps on the hoses and see if you can see whats caught inside..if the foreign object is wrapped up in the pump too tightly you will have to replace the pump..if you have to replace the pump and it comes as part of a new motor.,the front panel will have to come off to unplug the pump motor and plug in the new one. there is a space at the top of the front panel where it meets the lid, use a putty knife to release 2 clips so you can lift the lid up. you will see several screws along the top.remove them and the front panel will come off . you wil be able to see where the pumpmotor plugs in. . you will have to work in front and behind the washer. always unplug the washer before doing any work on your appliance. hope this helps get you back up and running...

Problem for Whirlpool Calypso GVW9959K Top Load Washer Error code SL and DL displays, what do I do next?
I would request you to please unplug the washer first and then follow the following steps in an order:
1. Get a large bucket or container.
2. Disconnect the drain hose from the stand pipe in the wall.
3. Place the end of the drain hose down close to the ground into the bucket or container.
4. Gravity should siphon the water out. Let at least 2 gallons of water siphon out.
5. Place the drain hose back into the stand pipe in the wall.
6. Turn the power to the Washer back on.
7. Press the "Cancel" button 2 times, slowly.
8. Now, press the "Drain/Spin" button.
9. Press the "Start" button, and try the cycle again.
WHAT'S F4 MEANS
LD is code for Long Drain. Ld flashes if it takes longer than 5 minutes to pump out water to a point where the operating pressure switch resets.
Press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display!!! thats all the info for that code!!! Check the drain hose lent trap thingy...

SPent an hr. last nite attempting to geenough of the rug material out of the pump to free it, with no serious improvement. Bit the bullet, picked up the replacement moter& pump assy from Sears this am. Replaced same this afternoon. Now I no longer get the same error code, but I get no "washer/agitation" cyclic action. Just sets there & humms, sorta like a locked up motor. i'm gonna run the soggy load to the coin-op, just to preclude Mildew. ANy additional tips I can follow-up on, service man can't get here until TUES.?
Thanks for your diagnosis & suggestions.
