The 0E fault code means it cannot drain away the water used during its last cycle, please check to see if there is a bend in the outlet hose or of the drain to pump is clogged with food or grungy grease from cooking oils washed off the items, I hope this helps.....

SOURCE: oe code on LG dishwasher following garbage disposal replacement

Well, there is the plastic block in the garbage disposal where the drain hose goes on (as not every disposal will be attached to a dishwasher). Punch this out with a screwdriver, fish the plastic plug out with your hand and reattach the hose. You are good to go.

SOURCE: lg - LDS5811ST Dishwasher OE Error Code

hi
The most common cause of an OE error code on a modern LG dishwasher is:
1. Blocked drain hose
2. Obstruction in the sump area (beneath the filter, which needs to be removed to check for onstruction)
3. Failing drain motor. 
else you need to REPLACE THE PCB POWER CONTROL BOARD

SOURCE: Im receiving an OE error code on my LG Dishwasher

The LG error code OE simply means "the pump is blocked". Presumably the water isn't being emptied properly. As with all error codes it is possible that there is a cause other than the exact description in the error code explanation but basically this error means as far as the washing machine is concerned it thinks the water isn't pumping out. A pump, or filter blockage is the most common cause but it could be caused by other faults such as a faulty pump, or even a blockage in the drain hose or somewhere else in the system etc.


LG themselves have some information on this error code..

LG14AW2 Dishwasher OE code after 3 minutes

Hi Ian,
This means the water is not draining out of the dishwasher - probably the filter is clogged. Your dishwasher has a filter fitted in the drain that prevents scraps of food from entering the pipes. Please try to clean the filter, hope this is helpful.

If the problem persists please see more possible reasons here:

Thanks

Lg Manuel for dishwasher 309 1879 Dishwasher stopped and displayed an error message of "OE". What does this OE mean.

OE indicates a drain error. Your model number doesn't fit the usual pattern for LG dishwashers; LDT5665WW and LDS4821WW are a couple of recent model numbers.

To start diagnosing and fixing the OE error, first check the discharge hose. Make sure that it isn't clogged, kinked or improperly positioned. Make sure that the pipe or food disposer that the drain hose connects to isn't clogged. (Check into the rest of the drain pipe if needed.)

Next check that the float switch inside the dishwasher isn't blocked. This indicates the water level and if a foreign object is holding it open, the dishwasher will continue to try to drain the water.

Finally check for any blockage in the drain pump. Also check the pump for obvious damage. If the pump is damaged, replace it.

After you've checked and fixed (as needed) the above issues, try the dishwasher again. If the OE code recurs, then you need to replace the drain motor pump assembly.

If your dishwasher is under warranty, contact LG. Otherwise, please check and post your machine's model number. I can check to see if the parts are available.

I hope this helps.

Getting an error code OE in LG inverter direct drive dishwasher and water not draining

Hi Ged Lunny,

The OE error code means "Outlet Error"

The drain pump is either clogged or the outlet hose is kinked.
- Inspect the Drainage hose at the back for kinks.
- Open the unit, and at the bottom sump check the small drain pump area for any foreign object that may be obstructing it.

Kind Regards :-)

Our dishwasher keeps stopping its cycle and saying 'OE' It is LG - LD/141ST1

the 'OE' code means clogged or kinked drain line. You will need to pull the dishwasher and disconnect the drain hose from both ends and flush out debris at the sink. Be sure the hose isn't kinked.

Instead of showinf a time my LG dishwasher (LD-2120w) has code: F on then during a cycle it stops and flashes 0E. I have found OE means to clean the filter which i think i have done, but the priblem is...

With an OE error, the next step is to follow the drain hose from where it connects to the dishwasher through the point where it connects to the drain.

Look for crushed hose, kinked hose. Then look for a plugged drain connection.

Please report back what you find. There are other things that ~could~ cause the problem. OK?

Error code LE and OE

The LG error code OE simply means “the pump is blocked”. Presumably the water isn’t being emptied properly. Check the exit hose, it may be clogged.
LE Code refers to a motor overload.Since the pump is blocked,the motor becomes inefficient in working.Once you get the pump cleared from blockages,I assure that you can get rid of these errors.Good luck with the machine.Please do post the results and comments.
