OMG how I thank you. Fingers crossed. Exact same problem. I’m 1/2 way thru a regular cycle now.

Thank you so much, for a superb post. You might want to tag it “spin only” too, to move to the top of the LG search results. You made my day!

Thanks! I didn’t know aobut the spin cycle. We thought it was a belt broken on the machine and the spin cycle wasn’t working. Nope. OE error strikes again. But I forgive my machine. I’ve had it since ’06 and I’ve never cleaned the filter that I didn’t realize needed cleaning. ) A cork, a key, rubber bands, yucky ,stinky, linty, ewwwy stuff. Running the spin cycle now and then we’ll running a regular cycle. Hopefully we’ll be fixed. But at least the repair man will know where to start and I won’t get lectured. )

Thanks for the tip on the spin cycle! Sometimes the power button on my machine accidentally gets bumped, I hated to have to start a wash all over again because of that! I tried out the spin cycle and it worked great.

Thank you!

I’m glad to have helped someone (you, labrax, in particular) with my post. It’s frustrating when stuff goes wrong that just doesn’t seem like it should and then it’s hard to find the answers. BTDT so many times, that’s why I make sure to document stuff like this when I have problems.

This comment helped me fix my washing machine. I took out the filter and poked at the side exit hole where the water drains out – there was some lint that was clogging up the outlet. BTW – bad design – the pump motor should have a metal spring clip that you can use some slip-joint pliers so you can take it off (once removing the back access panel) – then you could unclog the drain hose at the motor and be sure that you are getting it all out, rather than poking a bent wire in there from the front of the machine and hope you get it all out.

Thank you for the detailed explanation of your issues with your LG washing machine.
