Samsung Washer Code 4C (4E)
Samsung washer error code 4C (4E) error indicates that a problem with the water supply has been detected by the washing machine. A kinked or clogged water supply hose is the most prevalent cause of this problem.
To solve the problem, use the troubleshooting methods listed below.
#1 Inspect the water hose.
Low water pressure or a low flow rate on the mains water supply to the machine are the most common causes of water supply problems. This indicates that the water pouring into the machine is not strong enough.
The pressure of the water must be between 0.5 and 8 bar.
- Turn off the mains power to your washing machine.
- Move the machine forward to make room for the water hoses.
- Make that the water hose connecting to the machine is free of kinks and bends.
#2 Make sure the water supply is enough.
Make sure the washing machine’s water tap is fully operational.
#3 Clean the mesh filter on the water hose.
To avoid clogging, clean the water hose mesh filter at least twice a year.
#4 Make sure the dispenser drawer is clean.
If there is a blockage in the dispenser drawer, a 4C check code error message may be displayed. To clean the detergent drawer, follow the procedures in our step-by-step guide.
