  The IE INLET ERROR on your LG Washer indicates a water supply issue. Here's what to check: 1. Ensure the water supply faucets are fully open. 2. Inspect the water inlet hoses for any kinks, pinches, or crushing, especially behind or under the washer. 3. Clean the water inlet filters, as they may be clogged. 4. Verify that the water supply pressure to the faucet or house is adequate by checking another faucet. 5. Avoid using leak-limiting hoses for the water supply connection.

  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. Take care when moving the washer. * Clean the inlet filters, referring to the MAINTENANCE section for instructions. * Verify that household water pressure is adequate by checking another faucet in the house. Disconnect the water inlet hoses from the washer and run a few gallons of water through the hoses to flush out any dirt. If the flow is too low, contact a plumber to repair the water supply lines. * Avoid using leak-limiting hoses, as they can falsely trip and prevent the washer from filling.
