    Great video fixed our washer in minutes cleaning the filter. Thank you for sharing. :)
  • I tried all lg recommended fixes and had the same issue with my LG front loader OE error code. This is the fix. MAKE SURE THE 3 AIRWAYS INTO THE TUB ARE NOT CLOGGED WITH YEARS OF USE. Specifically, I pulled the hose off between the tub and pump, looked at the inside of the far back connection of that hose, and the inside is white plastic tube about 1.5 inches in diameter and it had crud blocking the small air hole that connects to the hose to the water level pressure switch. Apparently, the Water Level Pressure Switch determines if water has been expelled. The crud was mostly lint and dirt. You can look up the white tube from the front of the washing machine, with the front panel removed, with a mirror and clean it out with some spray cleaner and a couple paper towels crammed into the 1.5 in diameter hole and twisting the towels around with needle nose pliers. Then use a paper clip straitened to clean out the small hole inside that tube. Get all the crud out. If you do this, you may as well clean the top center of the tub air inlet by taking out the black hose pulling out the mushroom looking device and cleaning it. Then to the left of that is a small black hose from the exit water hose. Pull that from the tub and clean that by using the straightened paper clip. Stick it in the little hole at lease 2 inches and wiggle it around to loosen up any crud buildup. There is nothing on the internet about this so, good luck.
  • Brother you just saved me $2,000.00 I was ready to trash my 6 year old LG washer and dryer because I could not figure the EO error and was ready to purchase a new set. My filter was full of dog hair, once I cleaned it out every was all good once again. TY TY TY !!!!!

    ISSUE RESOLVED: LOAD SENSING ERROR... so my washer wouldn't start after pressing play. It was stuck on load sensing mode. So I tried unplugging washer and then pressing play for five seconds (LGs directive) . This didn't help. So then I drained the water and removed the filter (cleaned out the grime). Then voila! It reset itself and washer is working again. Thanks for the tips. I was really grabbing at straws but this video was a big help. ❤
