As usual, you have turned on your LG washing machine, but suddenly an unknown code appears on the digital display screen, indicating that the washing is not allowed at the moment. Are you at a loss? Let's figure out what a particular IE or 1E code signals on the display screen? Yes, the machine allowed to start the program, but does not respond, the water tank is not filled, or it begins to slowly draw water, but in fact, the drum does not spin, but the motor is fine.
In the LG washing machine without a screen at this error, the indicators of the main and prewash turn on and flicker at the same time.
What does a specific IE or 1E code mean?
IE code indicates the inability of the LG washing machine to draw water for the time programmed in the control unit at the moment. You can fix the problem yourself or invite a highly professional technician to washing machine repair. There are possible causes of malfunction that require a highly skilled craftsman, the number of which, more than one.
Error IE in the LG machine - the effects of self-repair, how to get the result?
- Washing machine LG very often slowly draws water when the water pressure in the water supply is weak! This often happens when plumbers turn off the water and then start to connect it. It is necessary to wait for a good water pressure, and the issue will disappear by itself.
- You may have been disconnected from the water supply and today there is no water, so the machine does not turn on, the motor works, but the water does not come on! Alas, this is not the case! Then see point 3.
- Very often in an apartment or house, the faucet is blocked or the water inlet hose to the washing machine is disconnected. Check and turn the shut-off valve all the way to the stop. Additionally you need to check all the hoses, perhaps it is pressed through at some point.
- Check the filter strainer for dirt! You have to rinse and clean the filter strainer, you can use lemon water. Filter is located where the inlet hose connects to the washing machine.

The main indicator of a breakdown |
Possible washing machine breakdowns | What to do? Replacement or repair? |
The usual
Price repair* |
| LG machine water gets on slowlyThe LG machine is slow to draw water, the motor is running. | The water supply to the washing machine is not possible because the water inlet valve, which supplies water to the machine, is defective. It may be that it does not work because the control box is defective. Sometimes, it stops opening at all, and then the water slowly seeps and does not let the water draw at full power. | You need to replace the water inlet valve in the washing machine. | From $3500 to $45. |
| The washing machine won't get any water at allThe washing machine does not pick up water at all, water is not coming in. | The water level relay is broken, it can simply burn out or wear out. | The water level switch needs to be cleaned by blowing it out. If IE or 1E code error persists, pressostat must be replaced. | From $1,900 to $39. |
| Error code does not disappear, water does not pour in. | The matrix, or rather the control unit in the form of an electronic controller, where all the microcircuits are located to control the work of the washing machine is out of order. | If replacement of relay or blown triac doesn't allow to eliminate the error code, it is necessary to replace the electronic controller. | Repair of relay - from $ 3000 to $ 40. Replacing the electronic controller is $5,500 to $65. |

- There is no water in the water supply, the tap is blocked, the hose is jammed;
