Can I fix LG code IE myself?

Start with these safe checks: Make sure both water taps are fully open and the supply hoses aren't kinked. Turn the water off, disconnect the hoses at the back of the washer and clean the small inlet filter screens (LG suggests needle-nose pliers to pull them out), then reconnect and turn the water back on. If water pressure is low at other taps too, talk to a plumber. Otherwise, if IE continues, request service.

When should I call a technician for code IE?

If water pressure is low at other taps too, talk to a plumber. Otherwise, if IE continues, request service. Unplug it or switch the breaker off before you remove any panel. Don't test or replace wiring, control boards, heating elements or motors under power. If you see scorching, smell burning, or the breaker trips again, leave it off and call a qualified appliance technician or electrician.
