Error Code OC

Your washer is filling with too much water and cannot detect when to stop.

Critical

Stop using immediately - risk of damage or safety issue

Also displayed as: OC

What This Means

Water level sensor terminal is out of place; Water supplied continuously because water level detection is not working; Drain hose is clogged (injection issue or foreign material) preventing water level detection; Water supply valve frozen or blocked with foreign material allowing continuous water supply; Water level sensor is degraded

What actually causes this:

The water level sensor has failed, so the washer does not know when it is full and keeps filling.

First Thing to Check

Turn off the water supply faucets behind the washer immediately, then unplug the machine.
