Error codes

Whirlpool

Error codes can vary slightly by model year. What's below is what a code most commonly means on Whirlpool appliances — if your display shows something different, text us a photo and we'll tell you straight.

Sud / SUDS — Washers

Too many suds detected — the machine pauses the cycle to let them clear.

Common causes

  • Regular (non-HE) detergent used in a high-efficiency machine
  • Too much detergent for the load size

What you can check

Switch to a High-Efficiency (HE) detergent and use less than you'd think — modern washers need far less soap than older top-loaders did.

Ld / LD — Washers

Door/lid error — the machine doesn't detect the door or lid as closed and locked.

Common causes

  • The lid or door isn't fully closed
  • A lid/door lock mechanism fault

What you can check

Firmly close the lid or door and try again. If it keeps happening, this is a call.
