What to do when IE shows on the applianceKind of codeWater supply and drain
The new appliance is reporting what it gets from the water connections behind it. A no-water or slow-fill message on the first fill usually means the supply valve is still closed or only half open, or the new line kinked when the unit slid back; a drain message means the drain hose is pinched, pushed too deep into the standpipe, or looped higher or lower than the installation instructions allow. Open the valve fully, straighten the hose, set it to the height the manual gives, and run the cycle again.

New supply lines from a working quarter-turn stop to each water appliance, tested under pressure.

A water leak after an install is water on the floor, a drip behind the kick plate or a wet cabinet in the first days after a new appliance was connected to water or a drain.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from SKS's own guidance for IE on its appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Confirm the house water supply valve behind the unit is turned on.
Check the inlet hose for a kink or bend, especially anywhere it passes through the cabinet opening.
Feed the drain and supply hoses through the cabinet hole and take up any slack before sliding the unit fully into place, since a hose trapped underneath can read the same way.
Run a cycle once the hose and supply are confirmed clear before assuming any part is involved.
Still there?
It usually turns into water supply and shutoff connection. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
IE does not by itself mean the inlet valve has failed. SKS's own documented checks are entirely about the hose and the house supply, both of which a careful installation gets right on the first attempt.

A booking moves faster with three things: the message exactly as the display shows it, the model number from the carton or the rating plate, and the moment it first appeared. With those, the office can tell whether it is a setup step or a connection to put right, and send the part that fixes it.
