Causes and checks

A water supply faucet is not fully open. Source: Troubleshooting: Error Messages, p. 42
1. Open both water faucets all the way.
A water inlet hose is kinked, pinched or crushed behind or under the washer. Source: Troubleshooting: Error Messages, p. 42
1. Straighten the inlet hoses so none is kinked, pinched or crushed. Take care when moving the washer during cleaning or maintenance.
The water inlet filters are clogged. Source: Troubleshooting: Error Messages, p. 42
1. Clean the water inlet filters. See Clean the water inlet filters.
Water pressure at the faucet or in the house is too low. Source: Troubleshooting: Error Messages, p. 42
1. Run another faucet in the house to check that household pressure and flow are adequate.
2. Disconnect the inlet hoses from the washer and run a few gallons of water through them to flush out dirt.
Licensed plumber If the flow is still too low, have a plumber repair the supply lines.
The water supply is connected with leak-limiting hoses. Source: Troubleshooting: Error Messages, p. 42
1. Replace the leak-limiting hoses with standard hoses. LG does not recommend them because they can trip falsely and stop the washer from filling.
