Why does my LG Washer show an IE INLET ERROR?
- K
  Karen CoxAug 23, 2025
  An IE INLET ERROR on your LG Washer typically means there's an issue with the water supply. Here are a few things to check: * Make sure that the water faucets are fully open. * Ensure the water inlet hoses aren't kinked, pinched, or crushed behind or under the washer. * The use of hoses designed to limit leaks is not recommended. Leak limiting hoses can trip falsely and prevent the washer from filling. Also, check another faucet in the house to ensure household water pressure is adequate. If the flow is too low, contact a plumber to repair the water supply lines.

  If detergent isn't dispensing correctly in your LG washer, it could be due to clogged detergent compartments from incorrect filling. Make sure detergent and additives are put into the correct dispenser compartments. Also, ensure you're not using too much detergent and that both hot and cold water faucets are fully turned on for sufficient water supply.

Why is my LG WM4000HWA Washer leaking water?
- S
  Samantha MorganAug 27, 2025
  If your LG washer is leaking water, inspect the hoses and connectors for any leaks, cracks, or splits. If the house drain pipes are clogged, contact a plumber. Ensure the drain hose is properly inserted into the drain connector and is secured to prevent it from coming out during the drain cycle. Also, reduce the amount of detergent used, especially for small or lightly soiled loads, as excessive sudsing can cause leaks.

  If you're getting a UE UNBALANCE ERROR on your LG washer, it means the load is unbalanced. Try these solutions: if the load is too small, add additional items to help balance it. If you're washing heavy items with lighter ones, separate them into similar weight categories. If the items are tangled, manually redistribute them in the drum.

What to do if my LG WM4000HWA Washer shows an IE Inlet Error?
- B
  bryancrawfordAug 25, 2025
  If your LG Washer displays an IE Inlet Error, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure that the water supply faucets are fully open. Check that the water inlet hoses are not kinked, pinched, or crushed behind or under the washer. Also, clean the water inlet filters, and verify that your household water pressure is adequate by checking another faucet. Finally, avoid using leak-limiting hoses for the water supply connection, as they are not recommended.
