Samsung J845 front loader washing machine. Error code shows OE, doesn't stop filling with water. Solutions?
Hi
An OE error presents if the washing machine has not successfully drained the water in ten minutes.
there are a few simple steps to take before calling for service.
Step 1: Check the drain pump filter.
Items caught in the drain filter will prevent proper drainage. Over time build up can occur from detergents and additives used in the machine. Manually drain unit through the drain hose, then lay a towel down to catch the water, and remove the filter. Clean the filter thoroughly and restart the machine.
Step 2: Check the washers drain hose.
If the drain hose is not installed properly, the washer will not drain properly. The drain hose should not be installed more than 1 meter higher than the bottom of the washing machine.
Step 3: Confirm that the washer is leveled properly.
If the unit is not leveled properly, it will not drain properly. The front of the unit cannot be higher than the back or vice versa. If not properly leveled, the water can flow back into the machine. If this is the cause of the problem, please level the machine using the supplied leveling wrench. When you place a level on the washing machine, the bubble should be in the center. Confrim that the washer is leveled from side to side and front to back.
you can perform a diagonal test when leveling the washing machine to ensure that the unit does not tilt from corner to corner.

Hi
Thanks
for using FixYa. OE is overflow error which occurs when the water level is too high. It can be cleared by
turning POWER switch OFF. Water is drained prior to POWER switch OFF. The tub
is drained for 2 minutes if a frequency of more than 25 KHz is detected.
If the issue remains then clean the drain pump located at the front lower
panel. Please revert back for further assistance.
Thanks
