IE is inlet error, displayed when "Not reached to the normal water level in spite of 10 min. water supply"
Possible cause:
- The Water Supply Tap is closed.
- The Water Supply is shut off.
- The Inlet Hose is kinked.
- The Water Pressure is very low.(below 10 psi)
- Inlet Valve is OK?
- The filter of Inlet Valve is clogged by impure water.
- The Hall sensor is OK?
- The Impeller of Air Guide is bound.
Remedy:
- Cut power by tripping circuit breaker or unplugging power cable for ten minutes.
- Take action on Water Supply device.
- Measure the electric resistance of Inlet Valve. (950-1300 )
- Clean the filter of Inlet Valve.
- Check the frequency of Inlet Water by the Test Mode.
- Replace the Air Braker.

LG should pay you to write the manual... I've been plagued by the IE error coming on intermittently for months - cleaned every filter mentioned in the manual... but it doesn't even mention that an inlet filter exists! So one minute reading this site and three minutes cleaning the inlet filter saved me a $200 service visit. Thank you!!
