How to Fix a Samsung Washer 4E or 4C Code - Fixing a Washer That Won't Fill with Water 

thank you ♥ you saved me and my family a lot of money ;)

Thank you!!!! Fixed our washer right up! I pulled the little blue screen from the cold line and it was black! The screen was totally clogged up. I scrubbed it and the washer is now running error free. I'm seriously concerned about our water quality though.

Great YT video channel for all those DIY’er fix everything out there. Love the advice.

Thanks Ben!

Thank you Ben

Thank you!

thank you Ben i found one of the cold water valves showing OL ( open load ) in the Multimeter so i replaced it and the washing machine is good now thanks again 😊🎉

Thank you so much for your video.😅

Thanks!

Boom fixed it, thanks dawg

Bring back the days of no error codes.

Clogged screen was the cause on mine. Thanks for the help.

Great video on proper diagnostic checking of the water valves on the Washer.

Have you ever had a GE with a ‘loose’ agitator but no feed dogs or anything underneath it…? Our washer is on the fritz, it will spin but not agitate. The motor is going/moving under it but the agitator isn’t moving. I took the agitator off and there’s nothing under it. I put it back on, tightened the bolt as much as I could and it DID catch a bit better but doesn’t agitate but maybe a few cm either way. It’s just a super cheap top loader 3 knob GE-no detergent cap

My fix for Samsung front load washer 4E and LE error codes: Tested water valves, main board, and replaced pressure valve, all to no avail. Turned out to be the hose connected to the water pressure valve - vibration had worn down the hose until a pin sized hole (too small to see) was created. At first, I had blown through the hose from the top and heard bubbling in the water collected in the tub and assumed the hose was ok. This model washer uses the DC96-01703G pressure sensor, which makes removing the hose impossible unless you remove the front panel (a chore). My solution around this was to remove the plastic lift handle on the side, exposing a rectangular hole, and using a saw to enlarge the hole to where I could access the hose. If your concerned about appearances, you won't want to do this, but I only wanted to get the washer working.

I’m getting 1,200 on the white colored connector water valve, is that normal or no

Hi Ben. Have you done any video of Samsung washing machines and what to do what to do when they stink.. we just can’t seem to get it from smelling between loads.

Could you do a video if washer cleaner tabs actually work. We've all seen the tik Toks but who knows what the motives are. Could go into if the tabs do work if they are a substitute for hand cleaning

We have a2020 maytag side by side with ice maker in the door, the ice maker starts and stops then after 3 months it starts again, we have a well , why

How I solved the 4E error: The symptoms were the error code appeared when the drum was filling. I followed the steps in this video but still no success. I solved the problem by adjusting the screw you can see on the top of the sensor. I figured out that this screw depresses a spring which controls the water level / pressure. The tighter the screw, the tighter the spring, the more water the machine demands. If the spring is too tight, the inlet hose can’t supply as much water as the machine is demanding and you get the 4E (low flow) error code. With your machine unplugged, loosen the screw a quarter or half turn and the machine will demand less water and the 4E error should not occur. You may need to loosen another quarter or half turn until you find the correct adjustment through trial and error. I’m guessing the issue occurs if the mains water pressure is slightly lower than the machine is calibrated for, so you have to recalibrate the sensor so that the machine demands less water / fills at a slightly slower rate.

Would a bad level sensor cause not filling the washer drum with water (absolutely nothing comes out)?

Honesty I repair washers all the time and modern ones all have pcb faults either they cheap out on components or literally just don't care about longevity but most faults from samsungs from my experience are board issues.

Hi Ben! Can you plz tell me about the subtitles on your site? thanks. hope you are enjoying your day! ⚙

I get the code, but only for the self clean setting. Washing a normal load with hot water works just fine. Any ideas?

What was the model of Speed Queen washers that you told us about a few months ago? The one that is the same as 40 years ago?

Replaced both hot and cold valves.. still gets the 4C code on certain settings.. so silly..

It is showing 4E on my Samsung washing machine . How to fix it ? I think I am confused with the water supply to the machine and not sure which way to turn on to correct it . Pls help

For those who are frustrated, I resolved 4E code problem. I found a small hole on the hose coming from the tube to the water level sensor

If I might add, unless your a technician, the only steps us regular people can do are the following: 1. unplug the machine 2. check both hoses for kinks and water pressure (sorry-you will have to disconnect) 3. check the filters where the water hoses are connected (small metal mesh screens) 4. check the debris tray - clean it out 5. remove and clean the soap dispenser trays 6. wipe down and clean the rubber seal around the door and washing machine 7. plug it back in and change to q quick cycle - cross your fingers 8. I think these are really the only things a non tech person can do - do them all to save yourself the grief of doing one thing at a time 9. If these don't work you may have to call a tech this is all i got- good luck

What if the washer doesnt throw a code

Can I just use cold water only for Samsung washing machines and turn off hot water hose permanently? Just being cheap due to inflation:(

Why is there no option to bypass this error... or just display the error and still finish the cycle. My samsung washer fills to nearly full, then flashes the 4c error, and drains the water.... just fill to the needed level and run the damned cycle....

im getting this stupid ass error code AFTER the fuckin thing is filled with water im getting so pissed

If I use any other setting other thatn normal wash, I get the code 4C. I have no issue with water flow. Samsungs are just huge pieces of shit. I learned that fairly quickly.

It's insane to me that they use 120 volts to switch the solenoid

Thanks!
