Kenmore Elite Oasis 2709 Model does not appear to be filling with enough water. I'm pretty handy and have fixed other similar issues. Is there a sensor I can replace or clean?
For low water volume - or "Trickling" effect...
1. Turn off the water supply to both hoses.
2. Remove hoses (one at a time so you don't get them confused)
3. On the washer side - look for a removeable screen inside wher you just removed the hose.
4. Using a small screwdriver - pop out the screen and reverse-flush it/clean it. It will likely be full of sediment and calcium deposits from your pipes.
5. Replace the inlet screens.
6. Re-fit the hose to the machine.
7. Turn on water supply valves.
8. re-try.

Remember- your kenmore elite is not like other washers, it super efficient and uses very little water compared to the older models, even though it does not look like it has enough water in it to fo a load of laundry- it actually does everything Bout this machine is efficient , it uses less water , electricity, and soap, it even spins at an extremely high rat of speed to get more water out of the clothes so your drier doesnt have to run do long.
Hi
LF means Long Fill, this error flashes when the water level does not change for a period of time after the valves are turned on OR water has disengaged the basket but control does not detect a water level change. Check whether water supply is connected and turned on. Make sure the hose is not blocked and hose screen is clear. If so make sure pressure hose connection to machine/motor control is fine. Also check the continuity of water inlet valve, use a multimeter to check the continuity. Hope this helps... Please post back if you need more information.
