  Benjamin LarsenAug 7, 2025
  If your LG Washer displays an IE Inlet Error, it could be due to several reasons: * Ensure the water supply faucets are fully open. * Check that the water inlet hoses are not kinked, pinched, or crushed behind or under the washer. * Inspect and clean the inlet filters. * Verify that the water supply pressure to the faucet or house is adequate. * Avoid using leak-limiting hoses, as they can falsely trip and prevent the washer from filling.

  The loud banging noises your LG Washer makes while filling with water are likely due to a plumbing issue in your home, known as water hammer. This effect can be reduced by installing a water hammer arrestor.

  The IE Inlet Error on your LG Washer can occur for several reasons: * The water supply faucets are not fully open. Ensure they are completely open. * The water inlet hoses are kinked, pinched, or crushed. Check the hoses behind or under the washer and ensure they are free from obstructions. Take care when moving the washer. * The water inlet filters are clogged. Clean the inlet filters. * The water supply pressure to the faucet or house is too low. Check another faucet to ensure adequate water pressure. Disconnect the water inlet hoses and flush them to remove any dirt. If the flow remains low, contact a plumber. * The water supply is connected with leak-limiting hoses. The use of leak-limiting hoses is not recommended as they can falsely trip and prevent the washer from filling...
