Likely causes
- Water outage
- Bent inlet hose
- Closed water inlet valve (for example after installation)
How to fix IE: safe DIY steps
- Check whether the kitchen and bathroom taps have water (a water outage can cause IE)
- Make sure the inlet hose is not pressed or kinked, and straighten it; check for objects pressing on it
- Open the sink cabinet and check the inlet valve connected to the dishwasher and the shut-off valve above it; open each by turning it anti-clockwise
Capacitors can hold a charge after the power is off. Safety terms.
When to call a pro
If the valves are open and IE persists, LG says a service technician needs to inspect it; contact LG support (or your installer if it was newly installed).
