The LG error code OE simply means "the pump is blocked". Presumably the water isn't being emptied properly. As with all error codes it is possible that there is a cause other than the exact description in the error code explanation but basically this error means as far as the washing machine is concerned it thinks the water isn't pumping out. A pump, or filter blockage is the most common cause but it could be caused by other faults such as a faulty pump, or even a blockage in the drain hose or somewhere else in the system etc.
LG themselves have some information on this error code..

The machine would not progress to the spin cycle because it would not drain water. The drain pump was bad but it is very easy to get to and to fix. You have to drain all the water out of the machine using the black hose by the filter at the bottom front left of the machine. Then unplug the machine and tilt the machine back so that you can get to the underside of the machine. The pump motor is to the left of the filter behind the filter place. You can access it from the bottom left front of the machine.The screws in the filter plate has to be unscrewed so that you can remove the pump from the filter the remove the hoses from the pump, unscrew it and unplug it. It cost 58.00 at the appliance part store to replace and my son fixed it for me. It has worked like a charm since he did. I really appreciate your assistance.
