An 'IE' error code on the display indicates an inlet error, or that the washer was unable to fill with water within a determined amount of time. Before replacing the water valves, check that there is not blockage at the valves. turn off the water, remove the water supply hoses from the valve, and see if there is a build up of sediment, rust, etc on the valve screens. If there is, you can remove the little screens and clean them. If all or any filter screens are ok, replace the valve assembly.

HI. This code is in reference to your inlet valve assembly. There may be an obstruction, or the actual inlet assembly may be malfunctioning. Use the procedure below to help guide you through the necessary inspection.
The water inlet valve can be identified by the water hoses connected to it at the back of the washer. Start by turning off the water supply at the valves on the wall. Disconnect both hoses from the back of the washer. Place the hoses into a bucket and turn them on to confirm that you are receiving proper water pressure and to clear out any debris from the line.
Inspect the filter screens on both the hoses and the inlet valve for debris build up. If you find any debris, clean it out. Use caution to avoid damaging the filter screens because the screens in the valve are not replaceable.
If debris was not present then proceed to the next step of testing the solenoids. Access to the valve may be easiest by opening the top or the back of the washer, depending upon make and model.
There are two wires connected to each solenoid on the water inlet valve. Label the wires and connections so that you can properly reconnect them later. The wires are connected with slip-on connectors. Firmly pull the connectors off of the terminals ( Be sure to not pull the wires). You may need to use a pair of needle-nose pliers to remove the connectors. Inspect the connectors and the terminals for corrosion. If either is corroded they should be cleaned or replaced.
Use a multimeter to test for continuity. Set the multimeter to the ohms setting X1. Touch one probe to each terminal. A reading of infinity indicates a bad solenoid that must be replaced. Different brands and models will have various measurements, but the valve should show some resistance if it is functioning properly. Test the second one in the same way as the first.
