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.

There is detailed information about error codes and why they aren’t commonly available or published for all to see in this article Appliance Error codes

Are you looking for washing machine, dishwasher, tumble dryer or other white goods appliance error codes?

Although this article doesn’t offer a full list of error codes it does describe how most of them wouldn’t really help anyway, and comments on why they aren’t freely available. It also offers some advice, and links for someone investigating an error code. I will be publishing some error codes in later articles under this error codes category if they are codes that can offer genuine help to the public and don’t involve much diagnostic work or technical competence to sort out. There are also links to some previous washing machine error code advice on Washerhelp.co.uk at the end of this article.
