How to Fix LG Washer Error 1E

Error Code: 1E Difficulty: Moderate

Problem: A problem with the water supply.

How to Fix 1E Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Turn off the water supply to the washer. Unplug the washer from the wall outlet for safety.
2. Check the water inlet hoses at the back of the machine. Ensure they are not kinked, bent, or crushed.
3. Unscrew the hoses from the washer. Inside the connection ports on the washer, you will find small filter screens. Carefully remove these screens with needle-nose pliers.
4. Clean the filter screens thoroughly under running water to remove any sediment or debris. Reinstall the clean screens.
5. Reconnect the hoses securely, ensuring a tight fit to prevent leaks. Turn the water supply back on fully.
6. If the error persists, the water inlet valve may be faulty. Access this part by removing the top panel of the washer. It’s the part the hoses connect to.
7. Disconnect the wire harnesses and remove the mounting screws to replace the old valve with a new one.
8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
