Samsung Error Code 4C
Water not filling
Common Causes
- 1Water supply off
- 2Inlet valve clogged
- 3Kinked hose
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
- 1
Check that both hot and cold water supply valves behind the washer are fully open — turn counterclockwise to the stop
- 2
Disconnect the inlet hoses from the back of the washer and check the mesh filter screens inside each valve inlet. Clean any sediment or mineral buildup with an old toothbrush and vinegar
- 3
Inspect the hoses for kinks, especially if the washer was recently moved. Even a partial kink dramatically reduces flow
- 4
If supply is good and screens are clean, the electric water inlet valve may be failed. Test it by applying 120V AC to each solenoid — you should hear a click and water should flow. No click = replace the valve
Pro Diagnostic Tip
Sacramento and Bay Area hard water frequently clogs Samsung inlet valve screens in 2-3 years. If you service Samsung washers in these areas, always carry spare screens and recommend the customer install a sediment pre-filter on the laundry supply lines.
