HI. This particular unit is equipped with a defective main PCB board. The solder junction points that hold the relay for the inlet operation are poorly manufactured and soldered. In fact, the entire board is faulty(bad manufacturing). There is also a recall issued as well for the board. If possible, please post the entire model number. This will help me locate the appropriate recall information.
standing by...
I believe the model is:
LDS5811WW ( ..........which is the white version of the LDS5811 model)
I hope this is the complete model #, if not, then I will see if I can find a more complete model #.
I hope this is the solution to the problem.........I have spent more hours than I can afford already.
Thanks.
Thanks for the model number. If this unit is still under the warranty agreement, you will be able to
have the main PCB replaced for free. Now, if the unit is four years out
of warranty; The PCB will not be covered and the board replacement cost
will be your responsibility. In any case, this board will need to be
replaced. Your original board is defective. The part number for your new replacement PCB will be 6871DD1006F. Click on the part number to purchase the PCB.
Additionally; You will need to inspect all hoses to be sure of proper flow. Make sure the hoses are not kinked an obstructed. Once you have verified proper flow; Go ahead and order the replacement board and have it installed.
Hello and thank you for your assistance with this problem. According to the manual which I downloaded from the LG website.... part number is: PWB(PCB) ASSEMBLY, MAIN 6871DD1006B. So I am wondering about your part number having an "F" at the end.
Also, I am not sure if it will be under the 4 year warranty.........I'll have to try and find that info. If it is how do I have that installed under warranty? And if it is not, is it possible for me to replace that part without too much difficulty.........is their soldering involved?
Thanks again.......I am finally hopeful I may be able to fix this problem myself.
According to the model number you posted; The actual part number for
your main PCB is 6871DD1006F/model number LDS5811WW. I have located the entire model number. It is LDS5811WW/BB/ST. This is the reason for the part number mix up. The correct part number is 6871DD1006B, as you have stated. This is why posting the entire model number is very important.
Now, If the unit is still under warenty; Kindly, Contact your local retail outlet for warranty instruction pertaining to this specific unit. If the warranty is not viable at this time, which may be the case, You will need to contact a local service tech to install this electrical device. Soldering will not be necessary, but the door panel will need-to be disassembled from the rear to access the failed part. It is behind the power modules located in the control panel, which are mounted inside the door panel.
If you choose to repair yourself, i have located a service/repair manual that will guide you through the necessary steps to repair in house. Click here to access the repair manual for this unit.Focus in on page 18 to help disassemble the control sector. follow the steps carefully. There are four screws holding the top control sector. Once these are removed, the control panel can be removed to expose the main PCB for extraction.
NOTE_ There are additional troubleshooting points that I would recommend to run through before purchasing the main Board. Once you have varied optimal functions at the stated points on page 25(in the IE code section on top of page 25), replace the board.

Hi,
Have you cleaned the screens at the inlet
hoses...?
Very rarely is the sensor itself the problem...Check for obstruction in hoses leading to inlet valve.(ie hose filters kniked hose).. iE happens when Correct water level is not reached within 8 minutes after water is supplied or it does not reach the preset water level within 25 minutes.
Make sure your water valves are open
fully.You may intermittently low water pressure in your area or
home.
Let me know,if needed further assistance.
Hope i helped you.
Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!
Water fills to appropriate level in the float assembly which is easily visible from the side when the side panel is removed. Water intake screens are clean no kinks in hose etc. Tank seems to fill to appropriate level inside the sump housing and bottom of tank.
I have checked out all the obvious , and not so obvious possibilites......nothing I have heard so far seems to help me figure out where the problem exists. I am wondering if talking to an expert on live chat would be beneficial at this point.
I am awaiting a reply...

Error code IE....machine fills with water, then error code shuts machine down. Machine does not transition to wash mode, though I believe it to be filled with water. Wash mode does work as initiated during test mode procedure. Float assembly appears to function normally. I cannot figure out what is causing the error code to come on, since the water-filling function seems to be working ok.
