Whirlpool Washer - LO FL Error Code

Low water flow or no water entering the washer.

Meaning

Low water flow or no water entering the washer.

The LO FL error indicates that the washer is not receiving enough water within the expected fill time. Whirlpool washers monitor water flow using inlet valve feedback and pressure sensor readings. If the washer detects slow filling, no filling, or inconsistent pressure changes, it triggers LO FL to prevent overheating of the pump and to avoid running a cycle without sufficient water. This code is functionally equivalent to F8 E1 on many Whirlpool frontโ€‘load models, but LO FL is displayed on certain user interface versions and specific WFW platforms.

Symptoms

  • Washer does not fill
  • Washer fills very slowly
  • Cycle stops shortly after starting
  • LO FL appears before agitation begins

Causes

  • Low household water pressure
  • Clogged inlet valve screens
  • Kinked or blocked inlet hoses
  • Faulty hot or cold inlet valve
