LG front load wm2487hwm OE Code. Need help checking pump

OK..so we would turn the machine off, drain the tub and sometimes get a few loads out of it before getting the code again. We verified the filter was not clogged. Took the machine apart, pulled the motor and tested the electrical motor for continuity (found video on youtube)...the test with multimeter said good. Put it all back together and first load ran and then OE. No water came out back at all. Clothes Washer Drain Pump Motor Assembly - 4681EA2001D Seems to be the replacement part. Are there any further tests or troubleshooting we can do to verify a bad pump or pump motor. Any way to add power to it on a bench to verify it works. Basically...from taking the machine apart we found no clogs and the impeller spun freely. Hope you can help Allen

Just to clarify on the first load that we ran it never drained...not a drop. We got an OE code the first time the machine tried to drain.

SOURCE: Got an LG front load washer WM2277HS with an error

Replace the Drain Pump. Its very cheap to replace, so do not worry. The impeller magnet was most likely damaged by a small object or normal wear & tear,

If you want to be sure, first remove it and attach power to its 2 pins.

Good Luck :-) - J.Q

Why does my lg vm2701hv front load washer not spin out? Sometimes it won't drain, but it will give me an OE code. Now the spin light flashes and the pump will hum but the tub doesn't move???

Most likely drain Pump is either obstructed or defective. The pump has a screw out filter that can be removed and cleaned. Also check inside of Pump for any foreign items while filter is out.

Hello, My L G washing machine has an error code OE... what does that mean?

The OE error or fault code indicates that the washing machine is not draining properly. Check to be sure the drain hose isn't clogged or kinked. If that checks out, check to see if the drain pump or drain pump filter are clogged. Sometimes objects that are put into the washing machine, for example combs, money, hair pins, etc. end up in the filter. Finally, if the drain line is clear and the pump seems to be clear and functioning properly, you may need to replace the drain pump assembly.

Stops in cycle, not sure if its when rinsing? I notice it stops and an error code of OE ?

This error code OE means the tub is not fully drained 10 minutes after the drain pump is turned on.This is possibly due to a clogged/kinked drain hose or the drain filter is blocked. Make sure the drain hose is clear then open the filter door located at the bottom left front of the machine. Drain the remaining water from the tub through the emergency drain hose located in the filter door area. Once completely drained, turn the knob counterclockwise then pull out and clean the filter. Reach in the pump impeller area and turn it with your finger. Replace the drain pump if the filter is clear and the impeller is broken or restricted and cannot be freed.

Make sure you check to see if anything is caught inside the drain line, or the bottom bellow (black hose that connects from the tub to the drain pump/motor.)

For LG WM2233HW, Error Code OE. Already check drain hose and filter, all clean. Try different cycles, TUB CLEAN, SPEED WASH. Same error code. No drain.

Replace the water pump. Because the water can not pump out, the machine idles for a while then stops with the error code OE. The technician said, the drain hose should be hang high before curse down to the drainage so air can not go to the hose.
