Whirlpool Cabrio "LF"

[goatfarmer]

I picked up a decent looking Cabrio about a week ago. Trying it out today, it seems to do what it's supposed to do, until it has about 13 minutes left. Then the washer stops, and a "LF" appears in the display. If I push the pause button, and restart the machine, it will do a slow spin for about a minute, and the "LF" appears again, and it stops.
Any ideas what's going on with this? TIA

First step is to read the discussion at the link below, and see if it fixes your problem:

Yeah, I started reading a few of those. It sounds like a pricey fix, if it's not something simple, like a hose kink. Thanks!

check the entire length of the plastic tubing from the tub air dome to the machine control board. Look for kinks or damaged tubing.

Additionally, make sure the end of the drain hose does not extend more than 6-8" down the drain standpipe to avoid siphoning. This will trigger the long fill code.

Last Rinse?

Is it trying to fill solely through the softener cup? Maybe the softener valve is bad or clogged.

The drain hose is hanging on the side of a washtub, with the plastic "U" in place. I'll check the pressure hose, and make sure the valves are clean.
It's a nice washer, I'd hate to scrap it because of the valves being bad. They're around $100.00 my price. It says they're serviced as a set, not individually. We'll see about that!
