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.

  • Turn off the water tap when the washer is not in use.
  • Schedule yearly maintenance to inspect hoses and valves.
