If your LG washer is displaying the “OE” error code, it typically indicates a problem with draining water from the machine. The “OE” error, which stands for “Outlet Error” or “Drain Error,” occurs when the washer is unable to drain water properly during or at the end of the cycle. This can lead to water remaining in the drum and may require troubleshooting to resolve the issue.
Common Causes of the “OE” Error:
- Clogged Drain Hose: A clogged or kinked drain hose can obstruct the flow of water, preventing it from draining properly from the washer. This can cause the “OE” error to occur, indicating a drainage issue.
- Obstructed Pump Filter: Dirt, lint, or debris can accumulate in the pump filter or drain pump, obstructing the flow of water and triggering the “OE” error. Cleaning or unclogging the pump filter may resolve the issue.
- Faulty Drain Pump: A malfunctioning drain pump may fail to effectively remove water from the washer, leading to drainage problems and the “OE” error. In this case, the drain pump may need to be repaired or replaced.
