LG Washer - OE Error Code

You started the wash, and after a while you found that the LG washing machine with the display gave an OE error on the screen and stopped, full of water. This error appears at the stage of washing or rinsing

LG machines without a display can signal this error as follows:

• all rinse indicators are on or flashing at the same time
• the spin indicators 800, 500 and No spin are lit or flashing at the same time (800 revolutions, 500 revolutions and Without spin)

Error decoding

The OE code means that the LG washing machine for some reason could not drain the tank in the allotted time period (in different models it varies from 5 to 8 minutes). Errors could result from minor problems that can be fixed independently, as well as serious malfunctions that require the intervention of a professional craftsman.

First of all, it is necessary to drain the water from the washing machine by hand and pull out the laundry. You can find detailed instructions on how to do this in the article “Wet business: the washing machine does not drain the water”

OE Error In The LG Typewriter - What To Do, How To Fix It Yourself

• Check the drain hose of the washing machine for obstruction or kink.
• If the drain of the washing machine is discharged into the sink siphon, check the connection of the drain hose to the sewer. Very often a blockage of the siphon knee prevents the drainage of water from the machine and leads to the appearance of an error.
• Check the sewer for obstruction, especially if the washing machine is drained through a separate sewer pipe.
• Check the washing machine pump filter for obstruction. To do this, unscrew the filter plug, which is located in a small hatch in front of the washing machine in its lower part.
• It is possible that simply a malfunction occurred in the control board (electronic controller) of the washing machine. Try unplugging the machine from the wall outlet and after 10 to 20 minutes turn it on again.
