# Samsung dishwasher error code 4C

### What 4C means on this make

The dishwasher is not getting the water it asked for. It covers pressure as well as temperature, so a supply valve that is only part open, a kinked braided hose behind the cabinet, or an inlet screen full of grit all produce it. In older South Florida buildings the screen is the most common single cause and it costs nothing to clear.

### The other ways Samsung prints this one

4C · 4E

Samsung publishes a condition and then every string that can stand for it, and which one your machine shows depends on the panel it was built with. They mean the same thing and they are one page here, so whichever of them you searched for, this is the right page.

### Where this appears, and why not to clear it

On the appliance’s own display. Samsung reports errors two ways: machines with a digital display show a code, and the same machines without one blink their cycle lights instead. Both are published by the maker and both are on this site. Photograph what the panel shows before cutting the power — Samsung asks for this itself on its refrigerator and dishwasher pages, and it is the one thing that makes a first visit more useful. A code that has been reset is information a technician no longer has.

### What to do about it

- Check the shut-off valve under the sink is fully open.
- Look at the supply hose where it turns into the cabinet — a kink there is the usual culprit after anything has been pulled out and pushed back.
- With the water off, check the inlet screen at the machine for grit.
- If the supply is proved good, the inlet valve or the sensing is the repair.

### Where this goes next

The job this usually becomes is [dishwasher wash performance service](/services/dishwasher-wash-performance-service/), and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call [(305) 506-1256](tel:+13055061256) and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
