I am afraid hitting with a rubber mallet will probably make a very
unpleasant dent! They don't build them like they used to!

We bought this unit new a month ago and on top of the poor layout of the
baskets, this morning, the unit's drain pump was running continously and
according to my wife, an error code of "E1 (water leak) or IE (water
inlet trouble)" (big difference) was being displayed. Even after cycling
the main breaker and getting PF (power fail?) indication the pump
continued to run even with the door open and the unit apparently off
(display dark).

While this was happening I poured about a 1/2 gallon of water into the
sump and confirmed that the unit was draining correctly. After a bit of
fooling around, the pump shut down on its own and we were able to run
an apparently good wash cycle.

What is going on? Is this model a problem? What usually causes E1 and IE trouble codes?

It sounds like a sticky relay/solenoid. If it happens again, you might
(all kidding aside) attempt the sudden-impact-resolution-solution. I
keep a rubber mallet (really) for such applications so as not to
damage anything... the act of picking it up somehow adds just enough
humor to cool down the frustration. But a swift tap in the
neighborhood of the pump relay will tell you whether that might be the
problem.
