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.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from LG SIGNATURE's own guidance for IE on its washers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Open both faucets all the way and check the hoses behind and under the washer for kinks.
Clean the inlet filters at the back of the washer.
If the house has leak-limiting or auto-shutoff hoses, swap them for standard hoses.
Book a visit if the drum still fills slowly with good pressure at another faucet.
