Drain Error - Water not draining

Also displayed as: OE

What This Means

Drain pump connector disconnected or disassembled; Drain hose kinked, clogged, frozen, or positioned too low; Drain pump coil resistance out of range (should be 10-20 Ohm); PCBA failure; Air chamber or pressure tube clogged (water level frequency below 26.0 kHz in SVC mode indicates blocked chamber)

How to Fix

1. 1

   Verify drain pump connector (WH5 Pin1) is fully seated at pump motor assembly.

2. 2

   Enter SVC mode; if water level frequency is below 26.0 kHz, check air chamber, pressure tube, and pressure switch for blockage.

3. 3

   Inspect drain hose: must not be positioned lower than the machine, must not be bent or kinked, must not be frozen, must be free of foreign material.

4. 4

   Measure pump coil resistance (pin 1 to pin 2): should be 10-20 Ohm. If out of range, replace the drain pump assembly.

5. 5

   Check voltage at WH6 Pin 1 during drain: pump running = 120V +/-5%; stopped motor/pump = 0-1V. If voltage is present but pump does not run, replace the drain pump assembly.

6. 6

   If voltage is absent at WH6 Pin 1, replace the Main PCB Assembly.

7. 7

   Environmental checklist: hose must not stay in lower position; hose must not be bent/clogged; hose must not be frozen; no foreign substance inside pump.
