This error code can come up for a number of reasons. Three that I am aware of are:
-Clogged lint trap -power glitch -motor failure
The first two have happened to me several times. First, try unplugging the washer for about 5 min. then plug back in. Try to run a quick cycle. If the error comes back, clean out the lint trap. If the lint trap is clogged, the tub will fail to pump out and will cause the error. To fix, grab a pair of pliers and unscrew the lint trap on the lower left front of the washer. Remember, if tub hasn't pumped out, a lot of water will gush out. Drain the tub with the drain tube first if possible.

What does the flashing OE mean? My washer is flashing OE and the water will not drain after the cycle.

OE means the drain hose is clogged. UE means unbalanced or overloaded. This is decribed in the owner's manual page 31-32. Pull the hose from the back of machine and rinse it out. Then, check the lint filter on the bottom, front left side. Put drain hose back and close lint filter. Unplug the machine, press and hold the start button for 10 seconds to reset machine computer (not the on button...leave machine turned off and unplugged while resetting computer) plug back in, put on no spin and start the machine. It should drain.

I have lost my washing machine manual and i have an error message of OE on my lg direct drive wm166220fd

OE means you have a drain problem. Check to make sure there is nothing in your drain hose. Next check to see if there is anything lodged in the pump.

LG WASHER/DRYER

OE is a drainage error.

This can be anything from a plugged filter screen to a faulty drain pump.

The filter screen location and cleaning procedure can be found in your owner's manual or online at the LG website.
