# LG Signature washer showing IE

On the Signature front-loader, IE means water is not reaching the drum fast enough.

## What IE actually means.

On the Signature front-loader, IE means water is not reaching the drum fast enough. Its manual lists faucets not fully open, crushed hoses, clogged inlet filters, low house pressure and leak-limiting hoses.

What to do when IE shows on the washer

### Kind of code Water supply

Water arrived too slowly, not at all, or kept coming after it should have stopped. The supply valves on the wall and the screens inside the fill hoses are checked before the inlet valve or the level sensor.

### Usually leads to Water inlet valve repair

A washer that will not fill, fills slowly, fills with only cold water or keeps filling, repaired at the inlet valve and its screens.

### Shows up as Washer Not Filling

The washer starts, hums or clicks, but little or no water comes into the tub, or it fills very slowly.

### Make LG SIGNATURE

## Before you book, in this order.

01

Open both faucets all the way and check the hoses behind and under the washer for kinks.

02

Clean the inlet filters at the back of the washer.

03

If the house has leak-limiting or auto-shutoff hoses, swap them for standard hoses.

04

Book a visit if the drum still fills slowly with good pressure at another faucet.

### Still there?

## Questions about IE.

### Can I clear IE myself?

Open both faucets all the way and check the hoses behind and under the washer for kinks. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Why would a safety hose cause IE on my LG Signature washer?

LG warns that hoses designed to limit leaks can trip on their own and cut the flow, so the washer sees too little water. Standard hoses fix that.

### How do I tell if low house pressure is behind IE on the LG Signature?

Try another faucet in the house. If it is weak too, the supply lines need a plumber; if it is strong, the hoses, filters or valve on the washer are next.
