If your LG washer is not draining, you’re not alone. This is one of the most common problems LG front-load owners face, especially in busy households across White Plains and Westchester County.

 

 

Here’s why it might be happening:

 

 

  • Clogged drain filter: The most common issue. Hair, lint, coins, or debris block the flow.

  • Kinked or blocked drain hose: Check the hose for bends or clogs.

  • Faulty drain pump: If the pump is buzzing but not draining, it could be burned out or jammed.

  • Error code OE: This means a drainage problem — often fixed by cleaning the filter or replacing the pump.

 

 

 

DIY Fix:

 

 

  1. Unplug the washer.

  2. Open the drain filter (bottom left corner of the unit).

  3. Clean out any debris and rinse the filter thoroughly.

  4. If it still won’t drain, the issue could be internal — like a bad pump or control board.

 

 

 

Call a Pro When:

 

 

  • The drain pump doesn’t engage

  • There’s standing water even after filter cleaning

  • You hear humming or grinding sounds from the pump
