If your washer is displaying an OE error code (which stands for "drainage problem"), it means that the machine is unable to drain water properly.
This is a common issue across many brands, and it’s usually caused by one of a few main problems:
✅ Clogged Drain Hose
✅ Blocked or Faulty Drain Pump
✅ Malfunctioning Pressure Switch or Main Control Board
Common Causes of the Washer Showing OE Error
From our experience at Roswell Appliance Repair Service, most of the time if the washer showing OE error than its a failed drain pump. For example, on an LG washer model WM4370HKA, one of our technicians recently diagnosed the issue and replaced the drain pump assembly. After the repair, the unit was draining properly again, and the OE code was cleared.
In Samsung washers, while the drain pump is often the cause, the problem could also involve the pressure switch (which senses water levels) or even the main control board. Still, in most cases — on LG, Samsung, and other major brands — the drain pump itself is the first part to check.
What to Do if You See Washer Showing OE Error
Inspect the Drain Hose: Look for any obvious clogs or kinks that could prevent water from draining.
Listen to the Washer: If you don’t hear the pump humming during the drain cycle, it may have failed.
Check for Error Persistence: Sometimes resetting the washer clears a false code, but if it returns, it’s a real mechanical issue.
Schedule a Professional Diagnosis: Drainage issues can cause bigger problems like water leaks if not handled quickly.
