Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

Sorry but I do not know your particular machine BUT I would suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters. The motor is unable to drain all of the water in the allotted time.
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is normally behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!) and held in by a round cover/knob.

REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT!

It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. If it doesn't work then the motor is malfunctioning!

Hope the filter is the problem and good luck!

Get a new machine. LG washing machines are ****. I have the same model and it has broken down and made horrible noises for years. It finally just stopped working. RIP

if the pump is working all the time then it will be the program board
make sure that after you replaced the pump the drain hose outlet was higher than the tub or all the water will run out

"OE" error. Filter cleaned but makes terrible

You still have something caught in the drain line on the machine. Check the filter again and the lines coming from the tub to the pump, and from the pump to the waste line. Here is a link to LG's document on the "OE" error.

LG WT-R852 washing cycle never finish. It will keep repeating cycle until OE error sign shows up.

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. OE is a Drain Error which indicates that the water was not fully drained within 10 minutes. To start with check the drain pump filter for any clogs/foreign materials and try to clean the filter. Also if you have already checked the drain hose for any blockage then check the pump for any blockages, if still its not resolved then it seems to be the pump that has gone bad. Please do rate the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.


Thanks

LG Turbo Drum Dd WT R902 wont pump out water , I have unblocked it and if i put the hose on the ground the water gravity pumps out, but when i put the hose back up it stops, it will spin but not pump

did you take the hoses off both sides of the pump. turn the pump impeller to make sure it turns free. at radio shack you can get a meter for $15.00 to check for power to the pump if it's getting power and it spins free by hand replace it. if no power during drain time it's a bad wire to it or bad control board

Machine does not drain and spin at end of cicle It is a LG top loader washing machine model R852

Your motor clutch is bad. That controls on the motor along with the timer on a washer from going to spin or agitate.

Clunking noise when water is trying to drain

You may have something inside the drain pump and the pump fins are just knocking the large debris around.  You will need to disassemble the drain pump to see what's inside it.  This will require a call from a qualified LG technician.
