OE Error LG Washing Machine Not Draining You Can Fix Easy 

Omg all can say god bless you I'm a senior alone and was panicking at how i was going to pay someone to fix my washing machine or have to buy a new one i did what you said on the video & it was fool of rubbish from my dog & my cats fur thank , thank you, thank you again God bless you.

Good video, however if you have a clog, which you usually do if you have the OE, there's a few gallons of water in the machine. Taking off the cap dumped way more water out than a towel can handle.

Excellent tutorial. There are websites that charge you money for this information. You are doing a great service by providing it for free. And that my man, gets you a new subscriber 👍🏾

Thank you for this clear, detailed video. Those of us that are visual learners appreciate showing how it is done. And saved me a ton of money.

Thanks! Every other video just says "clean out the filter" but you were more comprehensive & covered the pump replacement too. Thanks!

Thank you so much for making this video! I was able to fix my washer by myself, mostly because of this video. You are awesome!

Thank you! Thank you! I just fixed my washing after 4 hours of failure. God bless you!

Thank you so mucho for this video, I just fixed my washing machine by myself watching this video. I’m so grateful. You’re the best.

Just followed your tutorial and although my machine was a bit different, it was pretty much the same. Easier actually. My control board was on the bottom of the machine facing down in the middle under the drum so the entire operation was simplified.

Thank you so much for demonstrating how to solve this problem. I tried twice and got frustrated until I found you. Thanks

Thanks for this very helpful video. My LG washing machine was stuck with an OE error, nearly sent it to a service centre. Found a sock stuck inside the side hole there as shown in the video. Machine good as new. Kudos. 👊👊👏👏👏🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙Already subscribed to the channel

Hey, i just wanted to say thank you very much. This video solved my issue. I really appreciate the honest, straightforward advice. Other youtube channels just tell you to replace the drain pump. These other channels also conveniently sell the replacement drain pumps...

Thank you! thank you!! for your video. I’m from Ohio USA. All I had to do is drain the washer and clean a really nasty filter. It’s washing like a champ again.

Thanks for the video, every other LG washer drain repair video suggested I'd need to remove the lid or tip the washer over, and neither were an option with my stacked units in a tight space. Just popping off that lower front panel saved me a ton of effort and possibly back injury. 👍

Thank you so much, Sir. You saved us a lot of money for what was a simple I issue to fix!

Thanks, this worked a treat! I sat there and watched the machine do a full cycle and it worked perfectly. Best wishes :)

If your machine won't drain try blowing hard into the drain hose. Mine came free and saved me from having to take the machine apart to clean it, replace the pump or calling a guy out.

I want to say a big thank you for the tip on the pump it really saved me a lot cos I was thinking of buying a new machine. My machine was a bit of an older version so it was harder reaching the pump but I got it done. Thanks

Really thanks for help, struck in troubleshooting from last 1 hours, after opening draining cover lot of mud come outside and ots resolved issue. Also I clean external pipe by shaking it.

I pulled the hose off the bottom of the tub and found a sock, credit card and fluff blocking the passage to the drain pump. So definitely check that before ordering parts.

Thank you, Mr. Washy Washy! You saved me a lot of time and money.

This helped me diagnose problem, and I was able to clear a clogged pump by using the manual testing sequence shown at the end. Thanks!

Mate this was the most informative washer fix video.

Thank you for the video! Got my washer working again!

Fixed my washer in no time. Thank you!

Great video! One tip for future video production: if you need to point the location of any screws, use a long and thin screwdriver instead of your finger for pointing and it will be much more clear in the video.

Who else is currently cleaning the water spill from the filter because they thought there were to smart and opened it before he said about the spill

Super helpful video, Thanks for helping me to fix the machine

Videos like this has saved me a ton of money. Thanks much!!!

Came back to show my result... I disassembled it 3 times... But became faster doing it haha. I unplugged every hose. The bottom one from the drum, the main one, clear. The bubbles ones (right pump motor) were clogged in the connection to the drum gum (the one that attaches to the door), cleaned them, but it was not the OE cause. The motors were working (I extracted them and tested directly to the current with a cable) I even disconnected a black somewhat big but short hose from the back, clear of obstructions also. The last possibility was the white hose going to the waste. It its the exit one, that connects to the pump. I disconnected it from the pump and removed it completely, it was separated by a plastic union. I connected one extreme to the water and left it flow but nothing was exiting from the other side. Didn't have a long thing to unclog it so I took it to the street and grabbed it frok the plastic union, then I started spinning and the centrifugal force unclogged it, expelling the waste obstruction. Tested it under the water again and now it was flowing. Reconnected everything and worked again.

Hi, that’s very helpful. Although my machine looks fairly similar it does have that front removable cover?? I would imagine it will need accessing from below??? My filter is clear and sometimes it’s OK. Would it be possible to have blockages in the outlet hose or beyond the filter? Pump looks the most likely though. Any thought??

This video was incredibly helpful. I was able to fix my washer by myself because of this. Thank you!

Thank you very much, only £30 for new pump and easy fix . Thanks again

Thank for your video, I am one that has the oe error on, and am suspecting pump is out I will try and fix it this weekend thank you 😊

Thank you very much God bless you and your family

Unplug!! If tub isn’t drained, watch out for lots of water! You could drain via the black hose, with ver shallow pan. Perhaps rig up a hose into a bucket or outside because the water might equal 2 buckets full.

THANKS SO MUCH FROM LAS VEGAS NEVADA!

Very helpful! Thanks!

Thank you for your help you are a legend. I’ll sub out of respect atleast. You are a saint mate and deserve nothing but good things.

Thank you! Incredibly helpful! Liked and subbed.

WOW. Thank you. Good news. That fixed my washer. Bad news. There is now a water all over my floor 🤦🏻‍♀️. For though. Thank you.

Right, after fearing the worst I removed the waste pipe and watched the machine try to pump the waste water out, it came out like a trickle. After a while, I noticed something at the end of the hose moving in and out when the washing machine tried to eject water. A quick shake of the hose and it released a fairly large amount of fibres from a rug that had been put in the machine. It came out like a hair ball and immediately afterwards, the pressure of the water coming out was more akin to a shower! All is well.

Thank you a lot 😊

Thank you for this video! Super helpful! My LG washer has recently developed a new issue. The light does not turn off after a cycle until I completely disconnect the machine from power. Would you know how to tackle this issue?

Fixed!! Thank you!

Thanks my friend 🙂

Thank you so much for sharing your experience . I have a question need your help . I have replaced the new LG water pump, checked all the hoses cleaned perfect. but no water comes out when draining water at high speed. What is the problem? Thank you for your advice. thank you!

Spot on advise worked first i really appreciate it your a god send thank you and god bless 🙏 ❤

Fantastic video ty!

I washed a carpet that was way too big and it clogged the filter. I put a towel like you said, but the filter was so clogged, I needed more like a bathtub. Needless to say, I was doused in very smelly water 😂😂

My model is F14U2TDNO - front disassembly is the same but pump motor is located bottom right behind filter/drain. No need to disconnect any hoses, just tilt pump unit, release the three screws that hold the motor and swap.

Thank you! Thank god it was a filter issue.

Thanks for the video, Alhamdu Lillah, I fixed my washing machine Drain problem. 💐❤️

Thanks a million times, this helped,🤗🔥♥️💕❤️💃💃💃💃, even though I ended up with the floor full of water 💧 😂😂, but I'm excited, thank you, thank you, thank you...🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏼

Thank you so much for this video. You saved me from my husband getting mad at me.

Anyone going through the pain of this at the moment it may not be the pump ,I had a kids sock stuck in the pipe under the drum ,hadn't reached the filter,easy enough to remove pipe from drum but WHAT A BALL ACHE to get pipe back on !! Access really limited so you' re working blind, much cursing and mangled knuckles later it's back on and working. After I'd finished a had a too late brainwave ,the mrs has one of those thin spiral flexible things for removing hair and goop from plug holes this may well have reached the sock from filter end and pulled it out ,worth a try before dismantling everything and now ALL small items WILL go in a mesh bag for washing !!

Big Up and God bless you from South Africa

It also worked for the LG thin Q. Washer and dryer combo

Thanks!

Great help! Trying to find drain pump for my lg electronic washer drier FH4A8TDH4 N can you help please

Thank you bruhhh!!! You Saved Me $1200 🐐

Thank you

Thanks mate. You are amazing. Would have paid a lot of money to get mine back and running. Wife is proud hahahaaha

Hi, I have a LG front load that washes fine but when it comes to the spinning cycle it doesn't spin and OE error will appear. However, the water is drained and I've already replaced the drain motor.. What could be the issue? I suspect it might be the pressure switch or control board? Please help me

Very clear

thank you so much my problem solved door opened ☺️

well, thanks for the video. I did not have to check the pump :)

Life saver thx

If you get the OE error code during your wash cycle >>> DO NOT pull out the filter BEFORE draining the water. Use the little black tube to drain the water into a basin/bowl/bucket!!

Hi I have the same issue in my washer machine but I don’t know how and where to find the right draining pump can you help me where to find it please It’s a LG model WM3370HVA

My machine clog was up the drain line to a 90* angle, was sand and dirt small dog short hairs. Blew air compressor air back through in opposite direction of how it drains

God bless you dear

Hello and thank you for the video! I have a model LG- WM3997H, Do you know what pump I need? I did a search on eBay for that model and I am not finding anything. I appreciate any help.

I'm having this same error, but when I open the filter water keeps pouring out (to the extent its already soaked through over 10 towels) and shows no sign of slowing down. Any recommendations for how to deal with this?

Thank

I'm not a pro but one thing I learned from fixing fridges freezers game systems and televisions is its all the same. Different items same organs just gotta know what "organ" needs changing

Mine has a big panel in the front, not this small part on the bottom, any videos of how to open that?

I replaced the pumps on my lg washing machine after getting an oe and tcl error code. After replacing the pumps I ran one cycle and it’s giving me a tcl error code again and water is left in the tub. What can it be. Please let me know if you have any feedback thank you so much.

Due to noisy working, removed pump motor assembly that you talk about here in this video.. But started getting OE fault code with water not drained from machine.. Cleaned both pumps properly and removed , dried magnets, greased the o rings after drying.. BUT I guess I could not align and connect both motors properly...do you have a detailed video for this ? Lg model F1480RDS5 pump model 4681EA2001E(N)...looking exactly like the one in this video.. Can you be of help?

Great and informative video. Legend. However, my machine is only about 3 months old and gets the OE error every cycle. Have cleaned filters and blown down the hose to clear any blockage. Any other ideas for a new machine?

Hi! Great video! Tried removing our filter and the cap top came off without the filter basket, we have never cleaned it. 10+ years. Is there another way in?

So can you help me I opened up my black filter pulled it out and there's black plastic chunks and a rubber seal in all kinds of pieces of rubber seal came out in the filter and my spin cycles is not working is that a major fix on my LG stackable washer and dryer?

Lol someone told me a couple times a month lol lol no wonder there is never anything in there lol. The odd little thing. Thank you

Hi sir, can you give me the link for replacing the drain pump? Still thinking how to put back the wires...

G'day mate. Have you done a video of actually removing the pump and putting the new on in ?

easier to turn the washer upside down to change the pump if that is needed. usually the whole pump housing is filled with dirt that stops the electro magnetic pump from running. clearing the pump house might make your pump work again. Just gotta pull on the impeller to get in to the pump housing.

thanks for the video , i replaced the pump , clean the hose , and the hateful OE still on when spin cycle started . Any idea ? Thanks

My Washing machine isnt throwing an OE error but smells strongly. and is retaining a lot of water in the pump drain area. Draining it will alleviate the smell for a few days but then it will come back. There are no visible blocks, the filter is clean. We regularly leave the door open and run tub cleaning cycles. Could the Pump not be pushing strong enough or could there be a block in the drain hose?

Thanks

Whats the average lifespan on one of these drainpumps? I replaced mine and then only a few months later started getting OE again. I did a thoughough clean of all the pipes but i think the drain pump is failing again 😩

Have to do the work. I’ll be back when completed

I can't get the front of the washing machine off to access the pump behind. Where you unscrewed the second panel to get to the guts of the washing machine, that lower panel on mine is metal and riveted in place?

Hi how are you. I was hoping you might be able to tell me how to replace the pump on my LG Front Loader as mine has a full panel on the front unlike yours. I don't know how to add a photo but my model number is WD1208TC4W. Ps thank you very much for your detailed video. I find a lot of people tell you how to fix but never expand if that doesn't fix the problem. I am a single mum trying to save money. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you Liz

hello , how to change drain pmup LG washing machine model : WDU1H466JCH ?

I just bought a set uses and when I put it on regular cotton load it locks and then stays on scaling load and won't do anything. I did the test run process and everything works except the last step draining... The drain filter had a ton of stuff in it when I cleaned it and now every time I drain it it gets cleaner and cleaner. How can I clean that part out completely? Or is it possible that the large drain hose in the back is clogged? How can I check to see if that is clogged?

Hi there, it appears that the link to the replacement pump on eBay isn’t working, any chance you could refresh it please?

Quick question, does the washer make any specific sounds before the pump breaks?

Hello I’ve got an lg inverter drive 11kg F1443KDS Showing drain code what pump would I buy I would fit myself after watching your excellent video

When feeling inside the drain hole, should I be feeling a filter of some sort? I’m definitely feeling something that could be a filter but I can’t see it to know for sure.

I did broke the cup cover of the filter, I don’t know what to do please help
