LG Washer OE Error: 5 Reasons Your Washing Machine Won't Drain

Is your LG washing machine not draining? Is your LG washer throwing an **OE error code** (sometimes mistaken for 0E)? Don't panic! This code simply indicates the washing machine isn't draining or emptying properly.

Here are the five most common culprits and how to tackle the oe error in LG washing machines:

1. **Clogged Pump Filter:** The filter trap catches debris that may be left in pockets, coins, and wrappers Etc, clean it thoroughly once a month with warm water and a brush.
2. **Clogged Drain Hose:** Disconnect the hose from the back of the washer and sink/drainpipe. Check for blockages and clear them.
3. **Obstructed Sump Hose:** This hidden hose collects debris before the pump, trapped objects like socks or small items of clothing can’t stop the water from getting to the pump.
4. **Faulty Drain Pump:** If cleaning doesn't resolve the issue, the pump itself might be malfunctioning. Consider replacing it, (LG washer pumps can be Ac or Dc voltage depending on how old your machine is). Always use genuine part number or model number to obtain the correct pump.
5. **Power Supply Issues:** While less common, electrical problems can also cause drainage issues. Check that none of the wires are broken internally. This may not be visible always or you may have no power coming from the printed circuit board due to failure.

**Newer LG machines use DC motors, not interchangeable with older AC models.**

**Identifying the Right Pump:**

* **Newer LG Washers:** Check the components for part numbers.
* **Older LG Washers:** Locate the model number on the identification plate and search online for compatible replacement pump options.

**By following these steps you can effectively troubleshoot the OE error code and get your LG washer draining like new again!**
