My LG top loader (WTF1391TP) keeps on draining while pumping in new water. After which it gives me an IE error. OK so an IE error means that theres no water, but why does the machine keeps on draining itself?
It sounds like the flood switch in the bottom of the washer is activated. check for water in the base as the machine if maybe leaking. This is a Dishwasher?

Hi, The OE code signifies that your LG washer is unable to drain the water out during wash cycle. This code can be triggered by a clogged drain pump filter or a drain hose that's kinked,
it could be that coins etc have blocked the pump or drain filter assembly, at the bottom right of the machine there is a panel, if you open this and follow the instructions to evacuate the machine of water, then open the cover behind it, and remove the filter assembly and clean it out maybe with an old tooth brush etc. and also the pump area
use a damp cloth to remove and grit etc from the thread and replace the cap securely, start the machine a new and watch for any leaks
Troubleshooting LG Top-Loading Washing MachineDoor Error. The washing machine gives a flashing beeping DE error that the door (top loader) is still open while this is not the case. The small magnet has broken/fallen off. Attach a new magnet to the door (top loader) that will trigger that the door is now closed. Why dE Error is displayed on the panel of the Washing Machine
Why 'dE' Error is displayed on the panel of the Washing Machine?
Last Update date : 2017.01.19
You may encounter a situation when your washing machine displays 'dE' error. This error appears when the door is not porperly locked.
If the Machine is displaying "dE" error, kindly check for the following :
? First and foremost the door must be properly closed.
? You can check the end of the drain hose is too low (Make sure the holder of drain hose in the back is intact).
? Also, you can check the end of the drain hose is submerged in water.
Hi IE means Inlet Error. The machine thinks that it is not filling (as a certain time has passed without reaching level it wants).
This makes sense if water is running out the bottom.
You will need to find the leak. Maybe the tub to pump hose, or the drain pump itself. Once you stop the leak and the machine can fill in the correct amount of time, you shouldnt see the IE error any longer.

OE is drain error..Most likely problem is partially blocked pump filter...This is accessed via the small door at floor level...Unscrew the pump cover and clear the filter..Any water in the machine will flow from the pump cover...Empty the machine first...Leaning it back can help....Good luck....Nomess
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.
LG themselves have some information on this error code..

"OE" is really "DE"= drain error. Clean out filter behind access door on lower left corner front panel of machine. (there will be some water in machine)
"IE" = inlet error. machine took too long to fill. clean out inlet water screens where the hoses connect onto machine.
The manual suggests to shut the water off , remove the inlet hose and check the screen for blockage. The ie message is the inlet water is insufficient.
