I have the LG WM1814CW front load washer. It shows and OE error message. Drained and cleaned the lint trap but it continues to show the OE error message after about 10 minutes into a wash cycle. Have drained and cleaned multiple times and each time there is a little more that shows up in the lint trap. Any suggestions?

Make sure your drain hose is not bent - the code looks like a drain issue. It could be your drain pump. I had to take mine off and it was full of "gunk" and that can keep it from draining, causing that code. I have no affiliation with Home Depot, but they have a great web site showing how to get to the drain pump and how to take it off and clean it or probably just to replace it. Go in to the area to order the part and there should be an option to view a video on how to install it - not too hard, just follow directions. www.homedepot.com/ApplianceRepair
The OE error is telling you the water hasn't drained out in ten minutes. To fix I would first start with cleaning the filter on the pump. If that doesn't fix i would recommend replacing the pump. I would also have towels and a mop in hand because when you unscrew the filter top the water that is inside the tub will come out. You should try leaning washer back before removing filter to prevent the mess.If you have to replace the pump they run about 50 or 60 bucks. I hope this helps.
OE = Drain Error
• Not fully drained within 10 minutes.
Check and clean the pump filter.
The access panel is located on the front, bottom left of the machine.
Place a towel under the front of the pump filter access panel opening before opening to catch any water that may flow out.
Check drain hose on the back of the machine for any kinks or blockage.
This means the machine did not drain within a 10 minute time period. check the pump trap for debris and clean out. Check the drian hose. Check for drain pump operation diring drain period
No, there is no access to the drain pump other than by removing the front panel to get to it. It is a job that can be done but you will need to spend some time to disassemble the machine to get to it.
