How do I fixe lg washer code IE

SOURCE: IE error code

The "IE" code indicates a water inlet problem. If the correct water level is not reached in eight minutes, this code is generated. Check the water inlet valve. Unplug the machine, turn off the water, and remove the water supply hoses. Check the small metal screens inside the openings on the water inlet valve. Make sure they are clear of rust or debris. Check the solenoids using a multimeter or ohmmeter.Check for continuity. A lack of continuity means a bad solenoid and the water inlet valve assy will have to be replaced. I'll attach a photo for reference. Sorry for your trouble and I hope this helped. Best wishes.

SOURCE: IE error code

IE. is inlet water valve error.

Make sure someone did not turn off the water to the washer!!!!

Remove fill hoses and check filter screens on washer and fill hoses and clean if needed.
If problem continues water valve may need to be replaced.

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.
