IE Error LG Washing Machine You Can Fix Easy

[@redtruckboy]

Extremely helpful mate, one other thing that will cause an IE error, an improperly placed drainage hose, make sure you have the air gap, or incoming water will just drain out from the drum, stop, then IE error.

[@michaeldalton6800]

We just had a horrible move and then last night finally tried doing some laundry and got this error message. Suffice it to say a broken washer after all we were dealing with would have been the final straw but thanks to this video (our movers jammed the drain line almost 3 feet down) we were able to quickly fix the problem and get the machine working. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@kellykuczak636]

We Had An IE error , we changed water pump, we checked the hoses at tap and machine. Turned out that the water inlet above the soap dispenser was completely blocked with hard water caking. We unscrewed and soaked in vinegar and got rid of all the scale and the machine runs like new. All the taps and hoses were completely clear on first inspection

[@dsiremarie]

Thank you. It helped a lot. I fixed my machine myself and I saved hundreds in repair bills. 👍

[@bluev3nom]

This should be the last step for an IE or 1E error. 1. Check to make sure the draining hose isn't too far down the wall- this creates a siphoning pressure, which drains as your washer fills.. it should be barely inserted into the wall. 2. Check inlet plastic filter for debris/blocking- make sure the water has smooth sailing into the washer 3. Check the Valve on the wall- purchase a meter to check to make sure the water coming out from the HOT VALVE and COLD VALVE is okay and does not need to be replaced. This requires a bucket & turning off the valve for hot & turning off valve for cold, then inserting the meter each and turning valve back on to test. 4. The inlet valve he replaced in the video is the last step for this error. Usually the problem. But 90% of the time it's step one-Pressure Hose.

I just checked the drain hose and that was exactly the problem thank you so much man you saved me from buying a new one/ numerous trips to the laudrymat

[@bluev3nom]

@@ryanpappalau1924 So glad I could help Ryan. I had the same issue but it was number 2. My plastic filter was clogged full of rusted particles from my old hoses that have broken off pieces over time. Some people remove the filter as it's really not needed. I just unclogged it and screwed it back in. Very happy I saved you some crazy amount of lucrative plumbing fee. Plumbers love this type of work. Easy fix and bucko bucks for the call.

[@Meatwad102]

Thank you sir!

[@Raulperez-yc9de]

My lg washer machine is giving me that error always. I have good inlet water pressure, the drain hose is 25cm into a pipe on the wall, (which is half meter high from the floor) not sure if I should reduce those 25cm, to 10cm instead, or less. It washes ok, but when rinsing , the IE error comes to the screen, had to spin the clothes on "spin" Mode only. Not sure what's the problem, inlet filter is clean, and water pressure is fine.

[@franm.4768]

Lg instructions says it should be no lower than 61cm. If yours is 50cm and on top of that it's inserted 25, it's probably too low. I'm not an expert though

[@antoniolauroleiterodrigues8708]

When the water is coming in and coming out at the same time and the error is IE, this vaulve will fix ? Thank you

[@xX0Isaac0Xx]

For my IE error code, I had to remove the pressure switch hose and clean it out. I ran hot water through it and blew through the hose. The larger hose it connected to also needed to be drained out and cleaned out.

[@Joshuacurrie-wu1et]

Replaced cold water inlet valve still has the code ie?

[@villemache]

Thanks for video. Helped me to open cover. Water was ok but still IE code. It was an air pipe measuring the pressure which was disconnected.

Thank you for your instruction, but could you please shows us where is the "tap" that we usually forget to open?

hi thanks the tap is the one which you have connected your hot and cold hoses to. Sometimes its not open all the way to give enough water pressure

My LG washer keeps getting the IE code I replaced the intake hoses, cleaned the filters, and cleaned the drain hose. Still code. It codes on wash, on spin, on tub clean too.

Hi there @Mr Washy Washy, i'm glad to found a video with the same model of Lg machine. My problem is more profond i think ; when I force the machine to do a rinse it does not stop supplying water to the tank. And fills it to the brim! So the valve doesn't close anymore. Do you think it's a valve problem like in your video or an electronic circuit?

[@abelduran9710]

Mine gets stuck in spin mode. Hopefully this helps

[@tbl8560]

Did I miss it? Did you run the self test to see which water inlet valve was bad? Any of the water distribution valves can cause an "IE" message.

[@bluev3nom]

Yah.. look what I posted.. he jumped to conclusion a bit too soon. A lot of mechanics do this because they see this most often and as the solution this is the usual fix. But majority it's a pressure problem. I would think to replace all like a cars bulbs. You are in there, so might as well.

Could be the water valve that’s gone bad. To test it connect the terminal on the cold water valve to the hot one see if that works. Make sure you’ve got power disconnected when you disconnect the valve wiring

mine did it and it turned out after using it for 2 years the filter on the hot side had accumilated just enough it restricted the water flow. all you need is a towel and a set of flat nosed pliers to pull the filter out to wash it off after you disconnect it. do cold too at the same time.

LoL dude....i had high hopes with you starting with the obvious (is the water on). Then you dive bombed to overachiever tech super quick. 90% of IE errors are due to clogged valve filters. No need to remove the top and start taking crap apart. Remove the hose, clean the filter, reinstall. If you find orange sand or little orange resin beads....call the plumber and have your water softener fixed because your problem is the softener. This accounts for MOST IE errors. Now if those are clean and the water flows from the hose into a bucket when turned on....THEN you can take the lid off and replace the valves. C'mon man....
