These are very similar to top loaders, with the exception of the fact that the use a fraction of the water the older top loaders use. To work best, use the recommended amount or less of your favorite detergent that is available as an HE formula. The HE detergents to not create as much suds as the non HE types; which is required with the small amount of water the machines use. It also ensures the clothes will rinse all soap out completely. Resist the urge to use the less expensive "regular" detergent instead of the HE types - it will cost you more in the end if you don't - trust me. Like top loaders, don't overload the machine either.
When done washing clothes for the day, leave the washer door open over night - to allow the insides of the machine to dry. These doors are water tight as opposed to the top loader and allowing it to dry will prevent nasty mold from forming inside. You might consider running a clothes-less cycle with hot water and bleach to kill mold or as a preventative measure once a month or so too.
error code 'IE' means water does not enter the detergent drawer..if your water is hard or contains traces of lime deposits, the water inlet filter may become clogged..regular cleaning is suggested..clean the filter using hard bristle brush..
note: hard water is the one not undergone any treatment..in other words it is directly from the ground through your water pump and to the washer.
Wash empry with detergent and double bleach with extra hot water. When cycle is complete open the door to the washer and let airdry. When you close the door with it wet it becomes a breeding ground for bacteria. You may also not be using the correct detergent or the correct amount of detergent.
Use the aafesh tablets as instructed, this will clear hoses that have developed some mold, also inspect drain at the wall, these get moldy and as machine runs, smell comes out of there as well.
The mold problem is from too much detergent usage. Manufacturers recommend only 2 tablespoons of detergent per wash to avoid any mold issues. It may not say it in the owners manual but it is from the manufacturers themselves.
The manual suggests to shut the water off , remove the inlet hose and check the screen for blockage. The ie message is the inlet water is insufficient.
