What does error code IE mean on a LG dishwasher?

No water (water inlet error). The dishwasher didn't get the amount of water it expected.

Can I fix LG code IE myself?

Start with these safe checks: Check that water runs from your kitchen tap, and that the dishwasher's inlet hose under the sink isn't pressed or kinked. Make sure both the dishwasher's inlet valve and the shutoff valve under the sink are open (turn counterclockwise). If the valves are open and it still won't fill, request service.

When should I call a technician for code IE?

If the valves are open and it still won't fill, request service. Unplug it or switch the breaker off before you remove any panel. Don't test or replace wiring, control boards, heating elements or motors under power. If you see scorching, smell burning, or the breaker trips again, leave it off and call a qualified appliance technician or electrician.
