SInce the drain hose is not plugged or kinked, the next step if to remove the filter that is beneath the lower rack done in the sump area. Remove approximately 10 phillips screws.
Inspect for debris in the mesh filter and underneath it, especially the drain outlet.
Reassemble and retest with a quick cycle.
If problems persist, suspect a failing pump motor. Schedule professional repair is recommended.

I had an OE error on our LDF6810ST. The problem with ours was that it would pump the water out... but the pump would keep running. After running thru the tests in the service manual and measuring the resistance of the drain motor, I determined the drain motor was fine, no blockages.

The problem was in the float chamber on the left side of the DW, There are 2 chambers with floats... one float was stuck (the longer of the 2) and wouldn\'t go up and down with the water level. I removed the chamber and cleaned it out and put the float back in it. Still stuck. I inserted a screwdriver handle in the chamber to expand it a little and heated the plastic a little with a heat gun (hair dryer would probably work, too)... so it would hole it\'s slightly expanded shape. Took the screwdriver out, cooled the plastic, Put the float in and it was free to move up and down (as much as the limiting arm would allow). Put it all back together and it was good to go... until I got an LE error... ordered a new washer pump and gaskets (<$75). Waiting on that.

As much as the thing cost, I think it should last a whole lot longer than 5 years.

LG14AW2 Dishwasher OE code after 3 minutes

Hi Ian,
This means the water is not draining out of the dishwasher - probably the filter is clogged. Your dishwasher has a filter fitted in the drain that prevents scraps of food from entering the pipes. Please try to clean the filter, hope this is helpful.

If the problem persists please see more possible reasons here:

Thanks

Lg Manuel for dishwasher 309 1879 Dishwasher stopped and displayed an error message of "OE". What does this OE mean.

OE indicates a drain error. Your model number doesn't fit the usual pattern for LG dishwashers; LDT5665WW and LDS4821WW are a couple of recent model numbers.

To start diagnosing and fixing the OE error, first check the discharge hose. Make sure that it isn't clogged, kinked or improperly positioned. Make sure that the pipe or food disposer that the drain hose connects to isn't clogged. (Check into the rest of the drain pipe if needed.)

Next check that the float switch inside the dishwasher isn't blocked. This indicates the water level and if a foreign object is holding it open, the dishwasher will continue to try to drain the water.

Finally check for any blockage in the drain pump. Also check the pump for obvious damage. If the pump is damaged, replace it.

After you've checked and fixed (as needed) the above issues, try the dishwasher again. If the OE code recurs, then you need to replace the drain motor pump assembly.

If your dishwasher is under warranty, contact LG. Otherwise, please check and post your machine's model number. I can check to see if the parts are available.

I hope this helps.

How do i fix "OE"code.

if it is like my dishwasher the oe code means the unit is over filled with water. My dishwasher had a major fault that blew up a circuit board and had a faulty front assembly. Still in repair shop waiting for parts.. I would deduct that the washing machine is not emptying water so I think a water pump could be failing. My dishwasher was not activating the washer motor and came up with the same code but..

Error code OE; dishwasher stops with error message 2 min into cycle, drainage seems OK, water doesn't appear to pump into machine - any advice?

Hi,
The most common cause of an OE error code on a modern LG dishwasher is:
1. Blocked drain hose
2. Obstruction in the sump area (beneath the filter, which needs to be removed to check for onstruction)
3. Failing drain motor. 
else you need to REPLACE THE PCB POWER CONTROL BOARD
Good Luck!!!

Oe code on LG dishwasher following garbage disposal replacement

Hi. I just had the same trouble. Your garbage disposal comment there gave me an idea. The drain hose from your dishwasher likely goes to the garbage disposal and then out the drain. My hose had a little blockage at the joint where the hose goes into the disposal. I was able to clear it just by giving it a wiggle....all is well now.

Good luck.
