How do I fix error code OE on a LG washers?

1. undefined: Confirm OE is displayed 2. undefined: Check connectors at main PCB and drain pump — if loose or disconnected, reconnect or repair 3. undefined: Press WASH/RINSE and DELAY START simultaneously — is water level below 250? If yes, proceed to pump resistance check 4. undefined: If water level not below 250, check air dome and pressure hose for clogging; check pressure switch (test #2 in load test mode) 5. undefined: Measure drain pump motor resistance: expected 10-20 Ω (pins 1-2). If outside range, replace DRAIN PUMP ASSEMBLY 6. undefined: Check voltage between PCB connectors NA4-1 BN and BL3-1 BK: expected 120 VAC ±5%. If not present, replace MAIN PWB ASSEMBLY 7. undefined: To manually activate drain pump: power on washer, press SPIN SPEED to select LOW, press START/PAUSE — pump energizes at start of spin cycle 8. undefined: Always check external causes: kinked/clogged drain hose, frozen drain hose, debris in pump filter, foreign objects in impeller

What This Means

Not fully drained within 10 minutes; Drain pump connectors loose or disconnected at main PCB; Water level reading above 250 when it should drain; Air dome or pressure hose clogged; Drain pump motor resistance outside 10-20 Ω range; Voltage at PCB connectors (NA4-1 BN and BL3-1 BK) not 120 VAC ±5%; Kinked or clogged drain hose; Frozen drain hose; Foreign objects clogging drain pump filter; Foreign objects caught in pump impeller

How to Fix

1
Confirm OE is displayed
2
Check connectors at main PCB and drain pump — if loose or disconnected, reconnect or repair
3
Press WASH/RINSE and DELAY START simultaneously — is water level below 250? If yes, proceed to pump resistance check
4
If water level not below 250, check air dome and pressure hose for clogging; check pressure switch (test #2 in load test mode)
5
Measure drain pump motor resistance: expected 10-20 Ω (pins 1-2). If outside range, replace DRAIN PUMP ASSEMBLY
6
Check voltage between PCB connectors NA4-1 BN and BL3-1 BK: expected 120 VAC ±5%. If not present, replace MAIN PWB ASSEMBLY
7
To manually activate drain pump: power on washer, press SPIN SPEED to select LOW, press START/PAUSE — pump energizes at start of spin cycle
8
Always check external causes: kinked/clogged drain hose, frozen drain hose, debris in pump filter, foreign objects in impeller
