Error Codes (undefined): Troubleshooting, Fixes & Prevention Tips explained below.

What Does the OE Code Mean?❓

The OE code is triggered when the water collected by the AC cannot drain properly. This typically happens when the drain hose is blocked, the pump fails, or there is excessive water buildup due to high humidity. The system shows this code to alert you before any water damage occurs.

air-conditioner - What Causes the OE Code?

  • Clogged or kinked drain hose
  • Malfunctioning drain pump
  • Dust and debris blocking the drainage system
  • Improper installation leading to poor drainage slope
  • High humidity causing rapid water accumulation
  • Internal float switch detecting excess water level

air-conditioner - How to Fix OE Code on LG AC❓

  • Check and Clean the Drain Hose

    1. Locate the drain pipe behind the indoor unit.
    2. Remove any blockages or kinks that could prevent water flow.
    3. Ensure the hose slopes downward correctly.

  • Clean the Drain Pan

    1. Turn off the AC and remove the cover.
    2. Use a cloth to soak up standing water and clean debris.

  • Inspect the Drain Pump

    1. If your model has a drain pump, listen for buzzing sounds.
    2. Replace the pump if it’s not working or making unusual noises.

  • Reset the Unit

    1. Unplug the unit for a few minutes and plug it back in.
    2. Restart the AC and check if the code returns.

air-conditioner - Helpful Tips

  • Regularly clean your AC’s drain pan and drain pipe.
  • Avoid running the AC in extreme humidity for long hours.
  • Have your AC serviced annually to prevent drainage blockages.
  • Install your AC with proper tilt to support natural drainage.
  • Do not push the drain hose too deep into a wall drain—it may create suction and stop drainage.
