What does the LG IE error code mean?
IE (Inlet Error) means LG’s machine is not filling with water quickly enough. This mirrors Samsung’s 4E code. The most common UK causes are a turned-off or restricted water tap, a kinked inlet hose, or a clogged inlet filter mesh.
How to fix the LG IE error code
- Confirm the cold water supply tap behind the machine is fully open.
- Inspect the inlet hose for any kinks or compression.
- Turn off the tap and disconnect the inlet hose from the machine. Inside the water inlet port you will see a small mesh filter — clean this under running water if it is blocked with limescale or debris.
- Reconnect, open the tap, and restart.
- If your home has consistently low water pressure, you may need a plumber to assess the supply — minimum pressure for LG machines is typically 0.5 bar.
