Water does not enter the drum or fills extremely slowly due to a blocked inlet filter screen preventing adequate flow through the inlet valve.
Partial clog causes reduced water pressure through the valve, resulting in abnormally long fill cycles and extended wash times.
A torn or degraded filter screen allows rust, dirt, and debris to pass through the inlet valve directly into the washer drum and onto clothes.
LG washers display an IE (Inlet Error) fault code when water intake is insufficient — often caused by a clogged or collapsed inlet valve filter screen.
💡 Pro Tip: Is Your Clogged Inlet Filter Screen the Problem?
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Washer takes a very long time to fill up with water
⚠️ No water enters the drum even though the valve opens
⚠️ Visible sediment, rust flakes, or debris in the wash water
⚠️ Error codes related to water intake (e.g. IE fault code on LG washers)
🔍 Diagnostic Tip: Turn off the water supply, disconnect the inlet hoses from the back of the washer, and inspect both screens under good lighting. A clogged or flattened mesh screen is a clear sign of failure. Always replace both hot and cold screens at the same time — they wear at the same rate.
