If your LG washer is showing an IE error code, you’re in the right place.
In this article, we will walk you through all the main reasons why this occurs and how you can fix it.
The IE error code in LG washing machines signals that the washing machine is not able to fill up with enough water in the required time from when you turn it on to a cycle.
The most common reasons the IE error code appears include: the water supply isn’t turned on, you’re using the wrong hoses, blocked water hoses, and blocked water filters. Chances are one of these causes will be the reason the IE error code is showing.

The best place to start is to check the water supply. If your hot and cold taps are not turned on or are only partially on, your washer won’t get enough water, and the IE error code will show on the display panel.
Here’s how to check the supply taps:
If your washing machine hoses are third party “FloodSafe” hoses, they might not be compatible with your LG washing machine. This is because the inlet valve can open up quickly and trigger the FloodSafe hose to stop supplying water to your washer. So, if you are using FloodSafe hoses, replace them with the LG factory hoses.
Sometimes the water hoses that supply water to the washing machine can become kinked, bent, cracked, or damaged in some other way. If this happens, water won’t be able to enter into your LG washing machine fast enough, and the IE error code might appear.
To check the hoses, you need to:
If the hoses are not bent or damaged, the next step is to take them off and check that there are no blockages in them. If they get blocked up with loose debris, water will not be able to get into your LG washing machine fast enough, and the IE error code will show.
Here’s how to check the hoses for blockages:
The final step is to check the valve filters. The purpose of the filters is to catch any loose debris, like dirt, grime, or other loose objects. When they do get blocked, the water supply will not operate correctly, and the IE error code will appear on your LG washing machine display panel.
Here’s how to check and then clean the filters:
