LG Washer IE Error Code - Water Inlet Timeout Fault

LG IE error triggers when water level fails to reach appropriate threshold within allowed fill time.

What Caused This Error?

The control system reports IE when the monitored condition described by the error code is outside the expected operating range. In this case, the most likely trigger is home water valves closed. Other common contributors include clogged inlet valve filter screens and frozen inlet supply lines.

Step-by-Step Diagnostic Check

  1. Verify home hot and cold water taps are turned fully counterclockwise.
  2. Unscrew fill hoses from back of washer and clean stainless steel filter screens with a brush.
  3. Inspect hoses for kinks or blockages.
  4. Replace dual inlet valve if screens are clear and home water pressure is normal.
