resolve 4c 4e nf or nf1 error codes on your samsung washing machine

Your washing machine will display an error code or blinking light to alert you when there's an issue with the machine. The 4C, 4E, NF or NF1 error codes will appear if your washing machine cannot fill with enough water to run a cycle. This is usually caused by the washing machine’s hoses. This guide will step you through the process.

As mentioned, errors 4E and 4C indicate that your washing machine is not receiving enough water, and the issue is usually caused by a problem with one of the washer’s hoses. Depending on your model, the errors may also appear as NF or 1 4C. Fortunately, we have some steps to help your washing machine fill up again.

Step 1. Your washing machine’s mesh filter screens may be clogged. To clean them, turn off the water supply, disconnect the water supply hoses, and then clean the filter screens gently, like with a toothbrush or other similar small brush.

Step 2. While the water supply hoses are disconnected, check if they are kinked or clogged.

Step 3. Reconnect the water supply hoses, and make sure the faucets’ hot and cold hoses are connected to the corresponding water inlets on the washing machine. Then, turn on the water supply and make sure it is opened all the way for both the hot and cold-water lines.

Step 4. Check that the drain hose is properly inserted and secured. A loose or incorrectly installed hose could be the source of the problem.

Step 5. The drain hose should not be inserted more than 6 inches into the drainpipe and should not form an airtight connection.

Step 6. You should also clean the dispenser drawer if it is dirty.

Step 7. If you have a top-load washing machine that isn’t receiving enough water but is not showing a 4E or 4C error, you can add more water to it by using a different cycle. You can use the Deep wash or Deep fill cycles.

Step 8. Please contact Samsung Support to request service if the error still appears.
