Could be a defective fill valve. Expect some hot water if you are using powder detergent.

While the machine is 'on' press & hold the "end of cycle" button for 3 seconds, or till the lock light goes off. This is on the far left or right of the machine's panel. Good luck! Pl rate me.

This is more than likely the contact to the relay if not the relay switch itself. Wiggle wires on motor and try that.

PF - Power Failure - PF error code indicates a power failure during the dryer's cycle. Press and HOLD start to continue the cycle, or press off/pause to clear display.

Hi Keitha1

I'm Harvey the Master Plumber

You want to know what code dL means on a whirklpool duet washer.

This is what works for me 99% of the time:
Simply unplug the washer for ten minutes. The onboard computer will reset and work like new.
Please understand that you are not being shortchanged. There are hundreds of codes and with this new computer tech. they mostly require a repareman. To save you money the manufacturer has designed it to reset itself after ten minutes to solve most problems. Try this first, you can always call a local pro later if you want.

Feel free contact me again!
