Error Code OC

The washer has too much water in the tub and could overflow.

Critical

Stop using immediately - risk of damage or safety issue

What This Means

Water is supplied continually because the water level detection does not work; Drain hose is clogged causing water level detection to fail and water supply continues; Water is supplied continually due to freezing or foreign material in the water supply valve; Water level sensor is degraded; Water level sensor terminal is out of place

What actually causes this:

The water level sensor hose is damaged or disconnected, so the washer does not know when to stop filling.

First Thing to Check

Turn off both water faucets behind the washer immediately to stop water flow, then unplug the washer.
