What does drn / OE mean on a LG dryer?
Water container/drainage problem; container may be full or drain hose restricted.
Definitions can vary by model or platform, so compare the code with information for your exact model before replacing parts.
What you can try
Empty the water container if equipped and check the drain hose for kinks or blockage.
Before booking a repair
- Confirm the displayed error code and your appliance model number.
- Check relevant external issues such as a blocked filter, kinked hose, open door, interrupted power, or restricted airflow.
- If a power reset is appropriate for the appliance, turn it off safely and restart it once.
- If the code returns, avoid repeated resets and arrange diagnosis.
Safety note
Disconnect electrical power before accessing internal components.
Do not open sealed, gas, high-voltage, or refrigerant systems unless qualified to service them.
These steps are general guidance and do not replace service information for your exact model.
