LG Dishwasher My LG dishwasher (LD-14AW2) makes a high pitch noise when filling, I have checked the inlet hose and the filters and there are no obstructions.

E1 means a leak has been detected . Check hose connections .Or drain hose height.1E would be water pressure issue.See service manual

Hi Jeff - am not too savvy with LG - am a Electrolux/Miele serviceman is it possible to gain access to the drain pump from inside the unit? I think it does sound like there is a restriction somewhere perhaps the pumps not running freely.

To check you pour water inside , take the drain hose , operate machine to see how good the flow of the drain is, rule of thumb if you cover the outlet no flow then the problem.

hope this is a start..

Hi june1245,

I.E means Inlet Error, this shows because your dishwasher is not getting enough water through in a specific time frame (varies on model) - Make sure of the following first:

- Is the Inlet hose kinked in any way? (This could lead to low water pressure to the solenoid) Un-kink it.
- Is the Inlet hose filter (Found when unscrewing the hose form the inlet on the machine) dirty? Clean it.
- Is the tap completely open? (Low pressure)
- Has your home gone under any plumbing alterations? (This could have also caused low water pressure - Too little water)

If all of these come back OK, and it still gives the same problem, I'd suggest replacing the inlet valve (Found on the opposite side of the inlet pipe - inside your Dishwasher), could also be a pressure switch (Found at the bottom of your Dishwasher - accessible from the bottom).

This should solve any problems.

Kind Regards :-)

Hi

Error code IE on LG dishwasher means Inlet error. This error comes up when the Water Supply Tap is closed or Water Supply is shut off. If water supply is turned on then make sure that the Inlet Hose is not kinked and water Pressure is not low (should be above 10 psi). Next thing to check for is Water Inlet Valve, measure the electric resistance of Inlet Valve. (950-1300 ohms) Make sure the filter of Inlet Valve is not clogged.

Hope this helps... Please post back for further assistance.

A high-pitched sound which occurs when filling is usually cavitation - air in the water valve causes a kind of "squeal". It's relatively harmless, but can be annoying. You may need a new inlet valve. But first just try detaching and re-attaching the hoses to the valve. Sometimes that's enough to fix it.

broken door cord. remove side panels and relace. this is a cheap and easy fit. make sure you replace both sides at the same time, you will most likely find it is only one side broken at this stage, but the cords do not last very long.<!-- from fixya rte -->

ae unknown code,,,but ie that means uinit is taking to long to fill,,your inlet screens are clogged or the water pressure is to low...kinked hose...onthejob

IE is inlet error, displayed when "Not reached to the normal water level in spite of 10 min. water supply"

Possible cause:

• The Water Supply Tap is closed.
• The Water Supply is shut off.
• The Inlet Hose is kinked.
• The Water Pressure is very low.(below 10 psi)
• Inlet Valve is OK?
• The filter of Inlet Valve is clogged by impure water.
• The Hall sensor is OK?
• The Impeller of Air Guide is bound.

Remedy:

• Take action on Water Supply device.
• Measure the electric resistance of Inlet Valve. (950-1300 )
• Clean the filter of Inlet Valve.
• Check the frequency of Inlet Water by the Test Mode.
• Replace the Air Braker.

1E= Inlet Error
Condition>>>

The Water Supply Tap is closed.
The Water Supply is shut off.
The Inlet Hose is kinked.
The Water Pressure is very low.
(below 10 psi)
Inlet Valve is OK?
The filter of Inlet Valve is clogged

Try turning your tap off a bit till the noise stops but the dishwasher still fills, it can just be due to a bit too much pressure on your water valve.
hpe this helps
