SOURCE: LG front load washer OE error. cleaned filter need

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..

SOURCE: on my front loading LG TROMM i washed several

The "OE" code indicates a slow drain error and is generated if the water has not drained within 10 minutes. Check the drain line for kinks or obstructions and check the pump. Remove the hoses from the pump and use a flashlight to look into the suction port. Make sure that nothing is clogging the pump like the occasional stray piece of clothing. Check the pump impeller. Make sure there are no broken or missing blades and that the impeller will spin freely. If there are any broken/missing blades or if you cannot get the impeller to spin freely, the pump is defective. Hopefully it is nothing more than a clogged drain line, pump, or a jammed impeller. Really sorry for your trouble and I hope this helped. Best wishes.

SOURCE: we just got a new

That's actually DE (Drain Error) and I would never expect that on a first load unless use washed a rubber backed rug, pillow, or other item which might have given off a lot of stuff that could block up the filter, preventing pump out. (washer will not spin if water is not pumped out) Check the filter, located behind the access door on the front left bottom corner of the washer after using the small hose there to drain the remaining water out of the machine. If there was no obstruction in the filter, check for electrical problem,.... wire not connected to pump, etc. Wm2077 is an older model already. If it is new, call for warranty service and give servicer provider a copy of your sales slip to file with warranty claim.

An OE light comes on and the washer won't drain

I had something similar. It turned out that one of the option keys was stuck in an "in" position (did not jump back out after it was pressed) which disabled the functions of all the other keys. The lights in main dial came on but it was not possible to do anything else.
