LG WM2487HWM won't drain, OE error appears. Drain pump was replaced.
Hi,
My LG front loader washer would not go into the drain stage of the washing cycle.
First there were noises coming from a drain pump, then it sat for a while and displayed OE error. No drain or spin happened.
As many posts suggested, I checked the drain filter (it was clean), hoses and replaced the drain pump with a brand new one.
I then tried Rinse+Spin and Speed Wash cycles with no clothes, to confirm that it got fixed, but to no avail.
It again stopped on the Drain/Spin stage and displayed the OE error after sitting for a while, no loud noises were coming from the new pump though.
I then went through a diagnostic run, by pressing Soil Level and Spin + Power, albeit with the same result - no drain occurred.
What else could I do, please?
Thank you!

Hi,
When you say "hoses' did you check the tub to drain hose?

I checked the drain hose and also tried blowing into it from the other end, to see that the water in the tub bubbled. It did

My washer wouldn't drain... I turned it off and drained the hose and cleaned the filter. After several minutes after doing that I turned back on with no clothes in to see if it worked, it started with 18 min and then got stuck on 16 min. What do I do next?

@ostlers4 pull the drain filter out, and with a torch (flashlight) look into the pump. You should see the plastic impeller at the back shaped like a cross.. Use a screwdriver or similar to try to rotate the impeller. If it's stiff or won't turn at all you may need to remove pump from machine.
But first look carefully for anything like string that may be preventing the impeller from turning. If you spot such just fish it out with a pliers or tweezers and see if the impeller turns freely.
If not, you'll have to open the pump up and clean it, as others have said. Removing and reinstalling the pump requires some skills to deal with the spring type hose clamps in a tight space.
When the impeller turns freely there are still "pulses" of more difficult motion due to magnets and the way the motor is made.
I sure wish I had done this visual check before I removed the pump today because all that was stopping my pump was a rubber band. It would have been a 10 minute job instead of an hour!

I need help. I keep getting the OE error code checked everything changed pump did the tablets ran 6 wash tub cycles nothing is working. Did LG diagnostics and now it says it is a dE error code. Which has to door with the door failed. The door locks and makes a clicking sound and shows a the red lock signal. What else could the issues be something with the switches or electrical component. Do I need to call a tech?
