Why does my LG Washer show an IE Inlet Error?

  The IE Inlet Error on your LG Washer can occur for several reasons. First, ensure that your water supply faucets are fully open. Check that the water inlet hoses are not kinked, pinched, or crushed. Insufficient household water pressure or the use of leak-limiting hoses can also cause this error. Also, make sure that the end of the drain hose is higher than 29.5 inches (75 cm) above the bottom of the washer. If the issue persists, the water inlet filters may be clogged and need cleaning.

How to fix the UE UNBALANCE ERROR on my LG WT8405C Washer?

  The UE UNBALANCE ERROR on your LG Washer typically means the load is unbalanced. This can happen if the load is too small; in this case, add additional items. It can also occur when heavy articles are mixed with lighter items; try to wash articles of similar weight. If articles have become tangled, manually redistribute the load to allow the washer to rebalance properly.

  The OE WATER OUTLET ERROR on your LG Washer indicates a drainage issue. This can be due to a kinked, pinched, or clogged drain hose; ensure the hose is free of obstructions. Also, verify that the end of the drain hose is not more than 96 inches (2.4 m) above the bottom of the washer; if it is, reposition the hose.
