In all likelihood the rubber drain hose is clogged.
I had the same problem with my LG front loader.
The hose was clogged with sand and dirt almost the entire length of the hose.
The following solution is far simpler than taking the dryer apart to clear the drain hose.
Besides I figure this same thing could keep reoccurring with all the sand and dirt we get in our clothes here in East Texas.
I purchased about 4 feet of 3/16 inch OD vinyl tubing and adapted it to fit on the end of a garden hose.
The adapter gizmo included a valve so I could control the water flow and not give myself a bath.
A picture of the gizmo is included below.
Make sure that when you connect the water hose to the faucet that the faucet valve is just slightly opened and that the gizmo valve is closed.
Using the gizmo is straight forward.
First remove the drain filter and than insert the vinyl tubing in the end of the rubber drain hose and slowly open the valve on the gizmo.
Make sure you have a large pan or bucket underneath the drain hose to catch the debris and water.
Slowly advance the tubing up inside the hose until it won’t go any further.
By this time water will also be running out of the drain filter cavity which will indicate the clog has been removed.
Continue back flushing for a few more seconds to assure all the debris has been cleared, than clean up and you’re finished.
