OE error in LG washing machines – DIY repair

Often the LG washing machine shows an OE error on the display in the middle of washing. What is inconvenient: a full tank of water, the machine stops, and error 03 is on the display.

Also, the code may be displayed during the rinsing stage. What to do in this case and how to fix the problem, you will learn in the article.

How to recognize a mistake

Not all El G washing machines are equipped with a display. Models with electromechanical control show the error code in their own way:

  • All rinses indicate an OE error by blinking or solid light.
  • The “Spin” mode at 800 and 500 blinks (lights up) along with No Spin (800-500 revolutions, also “No spin”).

What does error 0E mean in an LG washing machine: a problem with draining water. The system sends a signal to the drain pump to remove water from the tank. If it fails within 5 minutes and the machine is still filled with water, the operation stops and an error is generated.

Causes of the problem

Before you fix the problem, you need to find out what is the reason:

  • There is a blockage in the drain system.
  • Clogged sewer system.
  • Failure of the pressure switch.
  • The pump is broken.
  • Defective controller.

But do not rush to immediately disassemble the LG washing machine, first check the available systems.

What to do during diagnostics

Before checking, drain the water from the Lji washing machine, empty the tank from the laundry. Then:

  1. Assess the patency and integrity of the drain hose. Perhaps it is clogged or bent. These are easily fixable problems at home.
  2. Often a blockage forms in the junction of the drain with the sewer. The area needs to be cleared.
  3. Drain filter clogged. Its fine mesh traps various particles, it is better to rinse it under the pressure of water.
  4. It is possible that there is a malfunction in the control unit. To reset the OE error, de-energize the LG CM for 15-20 minutes. If you can’t resolve the error, read on.

When your attempts have not led to a result, start looking for the cause of the breakdown. The LG washing machine writes an OE error with the following problems:
