LG dishwasher code OE: not draining

What it means

Water isn’t fully draining out of the tub.

What to try

Unplug the dishwasher before any step beyond a quick look, and turn the water off before touching hoses.

1. Let the tub cool, then take out and clean the filter. LG recommends doing this every 1 to 2 weeks.
2. Straighten any kinks in the drain hose.
3. Check the end of the drain hose is at least 30 cm (about 12 inches) above the floor.

Call a technician if
