Samsung washer code 4C: not filling with water

What it means

The washer asked for water and not enough arrived in time. Samsung’s fixes for this code are all about the water supply.

On models without a display, Samsung signals this with: Extra Large, Extra High, Large or High lights blinking.

What to try

Unplug the washer before any step beyond a quick look, and turn the water off before touching hoses.

1. Make sure both water valves behind the washer are turned fully open.
2. Check that the hot hose goes to the hot inlet and the cold hose to the cold inlet.
3. Straighten any kinked or pinched supply hoses. Samsung advises against “Flood Safe” style hoses on these washers.
4. Check the drain hose sits 6 to 8 inches into the drain pipe, as Samsung specifies.
5. Unplug the washer or switch off its breaker for 1 minute, then try the cycle again.
6. Turn the water off, unscrew the supply hoses and clean any debris from the small inlet filters.
