Haier Washer Dryer: not draining
What is this symptom?
Is your Haier Washer Dryer not draining properly? If water remains in the drum after a cycle or you see a drain error code like 'LD', it indicates a drainage failure. Common causes include a clogged pump filter or a kinked drain hose. Follow our guide to troubleshoot and resolve the issue effectively.

- Haier manuals specifically call out checking pump filter and ensuring drain hose is not pushed too far into standpipe or kinked. Displayed LD error code often is tied to drain issues.

Inspect the drain hose for kinks or blockages. Disconnect the hose from the back of the washer dryer and check for any obstructions. Reattach securely.
