I have a maytag bravos xl washer model MVWB950YG1. I really don't know whats going on with my washer. Problem has been started many weeks ago at this point. Whenever I run a cycle, I get an LD error (low drain?) and the cycle would stop. Sometimes, I instead get an F: 01 error code. The last time, I got this, I tried to clear it and got an Sd (or 5d, couldn't tell if it was an S or 5) error (maybe suds?) and the cycle stopped again. That time, the water just kept filling and filling until the whole tub was full of water.
I have taken my drum out and cleaned everything I could see. I took off my drain pump, cleaned it and gave it power to make sure it runs. Checked for loose connections on the control board and found nothing suspect. I tried running vinegar in the washer (not sure if I put enough). One time, I revisited my washer and blew a little air into the pressure hose after taking it off from the control board. This seemed to get me about 5 good clean cycles. But the problems seem to have come back, and blowing air in the hose won't work anymore. I couldn't find anywhere that this hose was crimped either. Diagnosing this washer feels like being in a circus. I appreciate any ideas or thoughts anyone may have.
