Hi, Anybody have any idea about this? few minutes into the cycle, "LD" starts flashing. water does not drain, nothing happens. any ideas?

LD means "Long drain" which happens when the machine takes an abnormally long time to drain. Check the exit hose to make sure it's not kinked or clogged.

If it is not a kinked or clogged pipe as ebackhus suggests, try looking at the internal pipework of the machine - does it have a filter system on the drainage?

I had a sock get into the drainage pipe of our machine once - to this day, I cannot figure out how it got there because it was in a pipe AFTER the filter & the filter was in place!
