water will not drain says oe

the best way to drain the machane is to lean the machine back prop something under it and then using a bucket take the drain hose out an bring it as low as you can to the floor. This will make it easer for you to open the front at the bottom an clean the drain trap ,it is possible that there will be a little water left in there good luck

Find the drain pump and check the sloppiness of the impeller, if it has sloppiness in the shaft it throws a code and some times it will work just enough to not throw a code but not pull the water enough at spin cycle...
They run around $150 online, fairly easy to replace.
The slowing of the machine may be a limp mode, so that you don't tear up the rest of the machine...good luck!

Greetings, There is a problem with the computer. The computer will need replacement. I have seen this many times.Sorry. Mike

Why don't you simply find out what the FE code is alluding to? Go to web site or do a google search and then you can check for the issue further.

The problem would appear to be the water inlet solenoid valve. The valve is not operating correctly for some reason allowing water into the machine even when switched off

assuming the very top cover on both units are scratched??? i have part numbers for you , but thinikin your gonna need to call cust service to order the parts, local part houses probably dont stock them(lg parts anyway).. washer part number( AGU30781501 $80US) dryer part number ( AGU30071202 $70 US)

Unscrew the bolt about halfway, then clean the exposed thread with a cloth to remove any oil or dirt. Apply Loctite thread locking compound to the exposed threads and then tighten the bolt securely. Allow for the locking compound to dry overnight before using the machine again.

OE means the drain hose is clogged. UE means unbalanced or overloaded. This is decribed in the owner's manual page 31-32. Pull the hose from the back of machine and rinse it out. Then, check the lint filter on the bottom, front left side. Put drain hose back and close lint filter. Unplug the machine, press and hold the start button for 10 seconds to reset machine computer (not the on button...leave machine turned off and unplugged while resetting computer) plug back in, put on no spin and start the machine. It should drain.

Lift up the top of your washer and there will be a code and test sheet in there that will help lead you to fixing that problem, almost sounds like it went into the its own test mode.

Those washers are heavy! They have weights in them to prevent moving when spinning. Some use bolts through the bottom of the pedestal up through the washer and others use bolts down through the washer into the pedestal. Remove the bolts and lift the washer off the pedestal. You might need to get levelling bolts for the washer or check to see if the bolts are on the bottom of the pedestal. Make sure you get help to move the machine.

Hi dear.OE code meaning on Lg washer's"machine unable to drain in 10minutes". You can make a little test.Please remove the filter & pour some water in side drum ,watch for water coming out of filter.If it's slow, tub to pump hose clogged.(there must be some sort of fluff or coin clogging hose)if it's not slow,waters comes out freely, run machine on drain cycle & check the pump motor is it running smoothly?If not change the pump.I hope that helps.Thanks.

This is by design. Water flows in and forces the detergent out. There will almost always be a little water left in the cup after a wash routine.

the drain pump does not effect the hot water intake that is or has to do with the water inlet valve , the coil may be bad or clogged try switch the hot and cold hoses and see what happens some pumps do have an electrical connection? be sure to check for loose connection other wise test with a meter

Does the pump run when it is supposed to? If ok, check the drain hose where it is attached to the bottom of the outer drum. If there is water in the drum and you pull the hose loose at the drum, the water should run out of the hose fitting (into a bucket). If nothing or very little comes out, look for something inside the drum blocking the outlet (a stray sock or similar). If there is no removable plate nearby, then the machine must be dismantled to the point that the inner drum can be removed. Major job!
