LG WT1101CW Washing Machine IE Error Drain Pump Runs - 3 Month Update - Board Replacement

This is an update on a how-to video on a low-budget repair that I made to my LG WT1101CW top loading washing machine when the machine stopped mid-cycle and displayed the IE error with the water drain pump running continuously. This problem would even persist if i unplugged the washing machine and plugged it in again. I believe that the WT1201CV and WT1201CW are similar models that suffer this problem, as well. After performing this repair weekly for 3 months, the fix stopped working and I had to replace the circuit control board (LG Part Number EBR76262102).

Here is the link to the factory service manual to those models that i referenced in the video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/19Q8saxuYkX4aljJSzewPrOJfFNhHSQoM/view

The factory service manual references several repairs for the IE error, but they all relate to a water inlet error, which could be caused by clogged inlet screens, kinked fill hose, or the water turned off. it does not, however, address the error when it is accompanied by a drain pump running continuously. I suspect that the IE sensor must be related to the volume of water entering the tub in a given amount of time. It's not expecting that the drain pump would be turned on, so the control board thinks that the reason there is not enough water in the tub is because there is something wrong with the water inlet. In reality, the reason that the tub can't fill up with water is because the machine drains the tub as quickly as it comes in!

This repair uses simple tools found in most homes and an hour of your time. I go through the sourcing process that I used to find the cheapest price on the internet for EBR76262102 as well as a suggestion to save you even a few more dollars.

Please be careful when working with electronics, making sure to unplug your washing machine prior to doing anything. If you are not comfortable doing any of this, please find someone to help you that is.
