SOURCE: lg wm3677hw combo washer drain pump repair question

You replace the whole drain pump. Pretty easy to do from the opening in the bottom by resting the unit on its back. (Make sure you drain the unit completely) You should be able to get the drain pump (pt #4681EA2001D) from http://www.encompassparts.com/lgconsumer/ for less than $50 + s&h.

SOURCE: how do you drain the drain pump in lg front load

There is a small panel on the bottom left front of the washer with a tab on the top middle holding it onto the front of the washer. depress this tab with a small flathead screwdriver and the panel will open downward. You will now see a small round black piece on the left with a flat screw head on it, about an inch in diameter. unscrew this about a quarter of a turn and it will come out with a small hose attached. This is connected to the drain pump. Have a shop vac ready, pull the black plug out of the hose and this will drain the pump. The larger round piece on the right, about 3 inches in diameter is your drain pump. After draining all the water unscrew it with your hand. When you get this out it will have a screen attached which needs to be cleaned at least once a year.

I have an LG washer that will not unload water

Washer Won't Drain
1) Check your drain hose to make sure it's not kinked, plugged, or frozen
2) Check that the impeller for the drain pump isn't plugged. It's behind the service door at the bottom left front of the washer. If it's plugged remove the obstruction.
If these solutions don't help you may wish to get an authorized tech in. The other possible causes include a disconnected or damaged connector (the front of the washer must be removed to access its location), a defective Drain Pump Assembly, or a defective Main PWB (system Board) Assembly.
Additionally, diagnosing the last two causes involve significant dis-assembly, multimeter testing while the washer has power, and purchasing expensive parts ( Pump $60US, Board $190US).
Finally, if you live in Canada there's a problem getting replacement parts; LG Canada's policy is to only supply parts to service providers. Additionally, while LG US will sell individuals parts, you would have to get any parts you need shipped to someone in the US who can then forward the parts to your Canadian address.

08 LG washer not draining and reads 03. What's the problem?

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.

I have the error code OE showing up, and the water is not draining from the washer. What should I do?

OE - drain error - 5 minute time out drain time error. check your pump/filter for blockages. Clean out the trap from the bottom, something is jamming the drain motor.

Drain error= Not fully drained in 10 minutes. Must be a problemo with the pump or possibly the drain is slow? clean out that filter. Check that pump for objects. THIS will help.

Will not drain code OE

need to replace the drain pump motor,, this a common problem for LG washers, take it to an LG tech and have them replace the drain pump motor, not the circulation motor, there are two motors, dont be confused with the two. if not draining its the drain pump motor.
i would order a spare motor while your at it, it should be less than 60.00 for one. this is a common problem, i had replaced over a hundred so far.

good luck, n a feed back would be great........
