this means that your unit thinks that it can't drain the water in the tub all the way. It stands for "Long Drain".

You may need to unplug your machine and tip the machine backwards. Remove the drain pump and check the hoses to see if anythign is clogging the drain pump from draining properly.

What is the drain pump? I can see that water is still in the drum but when I press the start button I only hear a humming sound. Can you tell me what is going on? I have had this Washing Machine for about two and half years.

it sounds like your drain pump is clogged by something. The drain pump is the part that is humming. Tip the machine backwards and locate the part that is humming, you will need to unplug the unit and remove this part to see what is blocking the drain pump from working.

How do I get to the drain pump and where is it located on this washing machine?

I just explained, tip the washer backwards and locate the part that is humming. depending on the model it should be located near the back of the unit at the bottom, but there are 2 pumps that look identical, a drain pump and a recirculation pump so you need to figure out which is the one that is humming to know which one is the drain pump.
