It refuses to spin driving me crazy I'm 66 years old and cant stand it
IE means inlet error. The washer did not detect the normal amount of water flowing into the machine in the expected time.
If no water enters the drum, check if the shut-off valves were opened. If a small amount of water flows into the washer, check the water pressure to the washer and the inlet hoses and the debris filters in some hoses/washers. (Filters can clog. Anti-flood hoses can limit the water flow through them when they start to fail.) To check this, grab a bucket. Turn off the shut-off valves and take the hoses off the back of the washer. Drain the hoses into the bucket. Check the filter at the inlet valve on the washer. Before replacing the hoses, test the water flow by opening the shut-off valves one at a time. (Turn off the valves and remove the hoses from the shut-off valves. Check for debris in a filter there.) When you replace the hoses, make sure that they are straight and do not have any sharp twists or bends in them. If you hear the water flow and then drain out, make sure that the drain hose isn't positioned below the normal fill level of the washer.
You can also get this message if there is a problem with the pressure switch that determines how much water is in the drum. Frequently the problem is dirt clogging the air tube. This debris might move out of the air tube if you blow into it. Other possible causes are that the inlet valve is not be opening, bad wiring between the pressure switch or inlet valve and the control board or the electronic control board is faulty. Faulty parts will need to be replaced.
Please add a comment with the model number of the LG smart drum, if you'd like me to search for the parts diagram for your unit. If the unit is under warranty, contact LG. I hope this helps.

If you have to replace the drum in 3 years, then i would imaging another drum will wear out within 3 years. Sounds like garbage to me, I advise replace the dryer. Sell the LG on ebay for parts
SOURCE: drum does not spin
We have an LG TROMM with the same problem, 3 years old as well. We bought the extended warranty (Huge waste of $$$$). So far they have determined it is not the motor or either of the control boards. We think it might be a relay switch or possibly the brake. Good luck with yours, we just went out and bought a new washer.
