Fault Code OE Pump not running / not pumping out - stops half way through cycle (before spin but after wash).
If run from Rinse / Spin - OK until pump out.
From LG Manual:
OE : Drain Hose is Kinked or clogged or The Drain Filter is clogged - Clean and straighten the drain hose / clean the drain filter.
BUT!!
It isn't blocked - am looking at the pump next!!
Cheers John

Thanks for your help, which I picked up after I had fixed the machine, but which was never the less most helpful, and right!!
To get at the pump easily, you have to turn the machine upside down - don't hesitate unless it is still full of water ;-)
Pumps go regularly so there should be a fairly quick and easy way to remove/replace it - don't simply start undoing every screw you see. there will be some quick release clip and a couple of screws. You will also have toi detach the hoses - watch out for those super tensile hose clips - I used Mole Grips, judiciously adjusted.
Pump comes apart easily (3 screws) clean it out thoroughly taking care not to get water into the electronic bits!!
Remove **** (mine had a 6" piece of thick black cord wrapped around the impellor) reasemble and hey presto!!
You may have some articles that made their way into the pump housing. Alot of times I see dimes get stuck in the ports of the pump, remove and check out thoroly and also check hoses coming to pump for little son of a gun articles that like to hide.
