When I tried to drain water from the tank it is not draining properly. Could be a drain plus issue or my process to drain water is not correct. Please help.
Hi faheem_najam...
You probably have debis blocking the drain hole of the air compressor tank..
You will need to depressurize the tank...and remove the drain from the tank at the bottom of the tank...once you have the drain valve removed, get a stiff piece of wire and bend a small hook in the end and insert it into the tank where the valve was...and try to remove the debris with the stiff wire.
Most likely your debris will be flakes of rust from the inside of the tank.

SOURCE: Drain valve on air compressor won't open or close
I would use an ajustable wrenck to try and open the valve. Being at the bottom and in the water, this is a common occurrence. to replace the valve, there is a Hex nut outer fitting (part of the valve) that you have to remove right by the valve "T" handle. Put a wrench on this and remove the complete valve. It too will be very hard to remove. When you install the new valve, use some anti-seize compound to make future removal easier.
SOURCE: how to drain water from 30gal tank of model
bring your air up and (make sure you have safety glass) you should have a pit-**** on the bottom of your tank. after your air builds up shut off the unit, and open that pit-**** value (srew) and let the it drain out.
SOURCE: should air compressor tanks be drained daily
No additional moisture will accumulate over time. Some existing moisture may condense as the unit cools down, though. If you drain off the water at the end of the day, I see no good reason to completely drain the air.

'OE' code means water overflow. Investigate if the pump is truly running. They are usually fairly noisy. Noise without water flow is usually a blocked drain somewhere. The pump motor may be dead or the power to it may be missing. Good luck!
