LG washer help... Update in OP
Posted on 5/15/17 at 12:42 pm

We have a 2 year old top Load washer that will not drain. It shows a code "OE" on the display. I have checked the drain hose for kinks and clogs, can blow air back to the tub so it's good. I removed the pump and checked it, it's good. I thought it might be the water level/pressure sensor so I replaced it. (Cheapest possible cause) that didn't fix it. I accidentally left the lid propped open while testing and it chowed a different code for the lid switch. So I don't think it is the culprit. I've checked the voltage to the pump and I'm getting some odd readings. I believe I'm going to replace the control board, but was curious if anyone might know of something I've missed. TIA
Update**
I received the new board yesterday and got it installed. It is now humming and throws the code LE for motor lock. I guess it's time to take yall's advice and get a new one.

Check connectors on the control board, make sure all plugged in firmly.

before you buy anything what is your model number?
The OE code can have different causes on different machines.

I have an LG, and "OE" was basically code for unbalanced load.
I'm guessing your board isn't acknowledging that the washer is indeed balanced. Could be board or the load sensor.

When you say you "removed pump and checked it"
Did you hook up voltage to is and watch that the imperller spun normally?
To be honest 9/10 times it is a bad pump.
It will make the noise, it will spin by hand. You power it up and it doesn't spin at the impeller.
There are a few different size pumps that all work in that space, but usually the LG pump with the wide spacing between wire terminals is the cheapest.
I've sold four LG pumps this month already. It's a common fail point. Even if it makes noise, and you check that it is visibly clear, does not mean the impeller is functioning as should.

You need to refill the Olde English container, its low. 40 oz should do it.

Save your time and repair money and spend the ~1K on a speedqueen and be done with it for the next 20yrs or so.

I have an LG washer had the same thing the electric pump motor is going bad.
The drum won't spin because water left in the tank even if you cant see it. Go online order a new motor fairly cheap and easy to change out.
