Hi

If the washer is not draining then it is due to a clogged drain pump or a drain filter or a kinked drain hose. To resolve the issue you'll need to clean the drain hose, inspect if the drain hose is plugged. If the hose is fine, then remove the front kick panel and access the drain pump and filter, if you are unable to find the pump and filter remove the back panel as well and trace the drain hose to the bottom of the tub. There is a drain filter connected with the drain pump. It usually gets clogged, and needs to be cleaned every 6-8 months or so. The drain filter is a small white filter connected to drain pump with a hose. If it still doesn't work then you'll need to check the connections of the drain pump, check the electrical connections with a multimeter. If it still doesn't work then you would need to replace the drain pump. Hope this helps...

How to remove the top on a LG wm3431hs washer/dryer combo

To remove the top on an LG WM3431HS washer/dryer combo, follow these steps:
  1. Unplug the unit from the power source.
  2. Remove the screws from the back of the unit that secure the top panel.
  3. Slide the top panel backwards to release it from the front control panel.
  4. Lift the top panel up and off the unit.
To reattach the top panel, simply reverse these steps by aligning the panel with the front control panel and sliding it forward until it clicks into place. Then, secure the screws on the back of the unit.

My washer lg wd-3245rhd will not drain, not even from the manual hose close to pump filter.

You have 2 problems. The manual drain hose is plugged with debris and cannot drain out. You will have to pull the hose out and clean it out.
The other problem is the either drain filter is plugged or the drain pump is broken. You will have to pull the drain filter out and allow all the water to pour onto the floor to check the drain filter. If the drain filter is clean, then you have a broken drain pump and needs to be replaced.
Good luck

Fault code oe please explain what this means

"OE" Drain error. Cause: not fully drained within 10 minutes Check there isn't a kink in your drain hose, ensure the filter is clean, the drain hose can become clogged with sludge, sometimes a hot wash with 1/2 a cup of vinegar will remove this sludge http://www.appliancefactoryparts.com/applianceshvac/help-center/fault-codes/fault-codes-washer.html if you have any further questions message me back and please remember to rank how this opinion has helped in your applaince situation it allows me to help others in similar situations Thanks

Washer machine erroe code oe

The LG error code OE simply means “the pump is blocked”. Presumably the water isn’t being emptied properly.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.

Clean and straighten the drain hose / clean the drain filter.
