Samsung Washer Error Code 4C: How to Fix It

The Logic Verdict

It’s usually just a clogged screen. Before you call a plumber, check the mesh filters inside the water inlet valves on the back of the washer. They get clogged with sediment.

What It Means

The 4C code (sometimes displayed as 4E) indicates a Water Supply Error. The washer is trying to fill with water, but it’s not detecting a sufficient water level within a set time.

Common Causes

1. Clogged Mesh Filters: Sediment blocks the water intake screens.
2. Kinked Hoses: The washer was pushed back too far, pinching the hose.
3. Taps Closed: The home water supply valves aren’t fully open.
4. Frozen Pipes: Common in garages during winter.

Step-by-Step Fix

1. Check the Taps: Ensure both hot and cold water valves are turned all the way on.
2. Inspect Hoses: Pull the washer out slightly and check for kinks in the supply lines.
3. Clean the Filters:
   • Turn off the water taps.
   • Unscrew the hoses from the back of the washer.
   • Use needle-nose pliers to gently pull out the mesh screens inside the valve.
   • Rinse them under warm water to remove debris.
   • Reinstall.
4. Test: Run a Rinse & Spin cycle to verify water flow.
