LG Dishwasher won' t drain: LG OE (DE) Hose not blocked?
* Removed and cleaned out ++entire++ drain hose. Nothing blocked. Even cleaned out the siphon break assembly (White u bend at top left side).
* Cleaned out drain pump. Tested resistance: ~3 ohms. And when it runs it has a good amount of water pressure when draining.
* I ran it in drain mode with vinegar and clean water in a closed loop (e.g, I put the drain hose to drain back into the bu) for ~30 minutes. All good. Flowed away like a water fountain.
* Here is the predicament. It will drain… and then stop. A forced drain cycle will hear the pump go, but it won’t drain water. If I then blow out the line with a compressor from the sink side and have it visibly bubble up on the inside of the dishwasher, it will then drain. But then f I then try to run any normal cycle, it goes for ~20 minutes and then the OE code. So blowing out the “clean” line seems to reset it for a while, but not for long.
* Are there other parts or sensors that could be blocked that kill the drain signal?

Solved it myself! The y connection to the sink drain got plugged AFTER I started clearing the main line. Problem intially fixed for dishwasher hose was subsequently transferred to the y connections. Solution… always check all paths before and after you clear the main drain hose.

Solved it myself! The drain "under the sink" was plugged (so the dishwasher was actually OK and now I've cleaned everything out).
