What Makes LG Washer Repairs Different
LG washers read the water level with a level sensor connected by a hose, and a clogged sensor hose or oversudsing can cause overfill or sensor codes. Source: LG Help Library - LG WashTower Error Code Resolution Guide

What LG Says to Check First

- Washer not draining. For the OE drain code, LG says to check the drain hose for kinks or clogs and then clean the drain pump filter. Source: LG Help Library - LG Washer Error Code List
