Hello everyone, I'm new to the blog. I seen many posts pertaining to the LG top load washer not draining, and many answers and unfortunately I still have an issue My LG is doing the same thing, throwing a OE code and not draining fully. I have replaced the pump and the control module on top. It is still throwing an OE code when I do a wash. After the code is thrown I have to lower the drain hose and set the washer to a spin cycle to get rid of the water, when i do this the pump and the washer work perfectly fine. But if I leave the hose in a lowered position when it's trying to fill it will leak water out of the hose. Can anyone please help me? I'm getting ready to throw in the towel on this washer. Thanks in advance

Hi,

Look at @wildimaginations posts #11 and #13 to make sure you have no clogs where he mentions:

FIXED - WT1101CW LG top load washer will not drain, error code OE

Wife discovered our LG topload washer wasn't draining and showing a code of OE with half load of clothes. I bailed it out and turned it around looking for a drain filter to check, but there wasn't one. I did remove the hoses and the drain pump from the unit and tested it with jumpers and 120v...

So i just completed checking all connections and wires on the machine. I was able to complete 1 load with everything working properly. On the second load the OE code came up again. I rechecked all the plugs again and there is no change on the code thrown.

That's very strange, I really don't know what is causing this then, sorry.

Hopefully another tech can shed some light on this.

So I'm curious what the conclusion to this problem was. I am in exactly the same situation. I've replaced the drain pump, load sensor and the control panel. It still throws the OE code and will not drain, but if I lower the hose it will drain just fine. I have also hot-wired the pump directly to an outlet and it will run fine then and pump water. I'm stumped.
