Hi, try to check the water inlet filter. Turn your tap off, remove the hose to the unit and inspect the inlet filter. It could be clogged with dirt. The unit is sensing that you do not have water in your supply.
Another thing to check is your water pressure. It should be strong.

ERROR CODE 1e

An IE error code signifies that the washing machine is filling with water slowly or not at all. This can occur when water supply taps are not fully open or the water pressure to the tap or house is too low. Other possible causes are kinked, pinched or bent water line hoses, or clogged water inlet filters.

How do I stop the loud noise when any of the hot taps are used?

I take it your water pressure is high. If so, then you need to have this pressure reducer installed because the water valves in the machine open and shut instantly, which means it lets too much water at once and when the valve closes or opens it makes a vibrating noise. See if you can check how fast the water is flowing at the tap first. Most washing machines make some noise one way or another, be it from tub spinning to rattling and clanking or water flowing in the tub, etc. From your description, sounds like you have a high pressure pipelines in your house, a reducer is necessary. Alternatively, try and turn down the mains tap at the front of your house, where the meter is, so that less water pressure rushes inside the house pipelines. I did that and it's a little quieter.

have it corrected by a qualified electrician.

the START/PAUSE button. After starting a cycle, it

error message is displayed, call for service.
• Use only HE (High-Efficiency) detergent in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
• Run the TUB CLEAN cycle regularly. Be sure to wipe around and

• Clean around door seal/glass to prevent odor or mildew:
1. wipe dry the door seal/glass and the door opening area

I've just moved house and my machine is not

Hello Friend, I think your machine will work properly if you add a water line splitter. You would connect to the single cold water tap and on the other end you would have two water hoses . Connect one hose to the cold water inlet of your washer and then connect the other hose to the hot water inlet. You can get these at Home Depot. Happy to help, Tim.
