Error Codes (IE): Troubleshooting, Fixes & Prevention Tips explained below.

What Does Water Inlet Error Mean

The Water Inlet Error appears when the washing machine fails to fill with water properly during the wash or rinse cycle. This can happen if there is a clog in the inlet filter, low water pressure, a kinked hose, or a malfunctioning inlet valve. As a safety feature, the washer will stop and show the error to prevent damage or incomplete washing.

washing-machine - What Causes the Water Inlet Error?

  • Water tap is closed or partially open.
  • Kinked or bent inlet hose blocking flow.
  • Clogged inlet mesh filter preventing water from entering.
  • Low household water pressure.
  • Faulty or damaged inlet valve in the washing machine.

washing-machine - How to Fix a Water Inlet Error

  • Check Water Supply

    1. Ensure the tap connected to the washer is fully open.
    2. Make sure there is no water supply interruption.
  • Inspect the Inlet Hose

    1. Look for kinks or bends in the hose.
    2. Straighten or replace if damaged.
  • Clean the Inlet Filter

    1. Turn off the water supply and unscrew the inlet hose.
    2. Remove and clean the mesh filter at the back of the washer.
  • Test Water Pressure

    1. If water flow is weak, your home's water pressure might be too low.
    2. Consider using a pressure booster or consult a plumber.
  • Replace Inlet Valve (if needed)

    1. If the valve is stuck or broken, replace it with a genuine part.
    2. This may require professional service.

  • Check and clean the inlet filter every few months.
  • Avoid bending or crushing the water supply hose.
  • Use a pressure regulator if water pressure is too high or too low.
  • Turn off the water tap when the washer is not in use.
  • Schedule yearly maintenance to inspect hoses and valves.
