The OE code means it isn't draining and it isn't while it is in a regular wash cycle. It will drain when I just activate a drain so it does have the ability to drain and I checked for blockages and there are none. The drain hose isn't kinked and the filter has been cleaned.

Reading online people are saying after checking what I listed above call a technician but wondering if anyone here has dealt with the same problem and found a solution.

ETA: In case someone else comes across with this problem. Changed out the drain pump last night and ran the dishwasher. No OE code and everything ran as is should have. $20 part and about 10-15 minutes to do.

Our Electrolux did this a few times and I had to pull out and tip to the front to drain the water. Then go to the breaker and flip it off and back on to reset.

It was then fine and has run fine for several years now.

Our LG lasted just a couple years before the drain pump and fill valve had to be replaced (at separate times roughly a year between them). Neither was hard to replace, but I will never buy LG again. We bought a full kitchen set (range, microwave, fridge, and dishwasher). Dishwasher has been repaired twice. Fridge compressor went out twice. Then there was a leak in the yoder loop and the entire unit rendered dead. Oven in the range has had the temperature probe and igniter replaced. Microwave is the only thing still running without repairs.

I just saw a youtube video where the guy replaced the drain pump and that fixed the problem. Just ordered one, only $20 so hopefully that fixes it.

Look for videos of stuck solenoid repair. All you have to do is tap them a few times. I've done this at least twice and haven't had to replace a thing.

Almost always the drain pump. They are cheap. But sometimes lgs can be a pain to work on a the bases are like Bosch .

Solenoids have been phased out as DC motors become more common.
A solenoid is only used in machines with one motor. I don't think any you can buy now only have one. I think only ge abs really old whirlpools used this.
