Water supply error

Check that the water supply valve under the kitchen sink is fully open. The dishwasher supply valve is typically the one closest to the dishwasher (left side under the sink)
Check the water inlet hose for kinks. Pull the dishwasher out slightly (disconnect power first) and inspect the supply line connection at the back
Inspect the water inlet valve filter screen — disconnect the supply line at the dishwasher inlet valve and check the small mesh screen inside for mineral buildup. Clean with vinegar and a toothbrush
Test the inlet valve electrically: with the machine running a fill cycle, check for 120V AC at the valve terminals. If voltage is present but no water flows, the valve is stuck closed and needs replacement
Pro Diagnostic Tip
Samsung dishwasher 4C codes in homes with hard water (common in Sacramento) are usually caused by a calcified inlet valve screen. Soaking the screen in CLR or white vinegar for 30 minutes dissolves the buildup and restores flow without replacing anything.
