Samsung Washing Machine Error Code 4C

DIY-friendly

4C: Water is not supplied
The washer is not filling with water, or is filling too slowly. This is a supply-side problem: the machine is fine, but water is not reaching it at the expected rate.

Also shown as: 4E E1 nF

Common causes

Water taps not fully open
Inlet hose kinked or crushed
Mesh filter in the inlet valve clogged with grit
Water pressure too low
Frozen taps or hoses in winter

What to check, in order

Open both the cold and hot water taps fully.
Straighten the inlet hoses and check nothing heavy is resting on them.
Unscrew the inlet hoses and clean the small mesh filters inside the valve connections.
Confirm other taps in the home have normal pressure.
If the code appeared in freezing weather, thaw the taps and hoses before retrying.

Safety: switch the machine off and unplug it before cleaning filters or moving hoses. Expect water to come out when you open a pump filter; keep a tray and towel ready. If you are not comfortable with any step, stop and call a technician.
