On a Samsung this is one of the most common calls we take and one of the most likely to end without a part, because most of the causes are upstream of the appliance: a valve that is not fully open, a hose that has been kinked against the wall, or a screen filter at the inlet that has silted up with whatever the building’s plumbing has been shedding. There is one Samsung-specific trap worth knowing: if the hot line was never connected, the machine will report this the moment a cycle calls for hot — and some cycles labeled cold still do. ### The other ways Samsung prints this one 4C · 1 4C · nF · 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 that both taps are fully open and stay open while the cycle runs. - Confirm hot is on hot and cold is on cold, and that neither hose is kinked behind the machine. - Cut the power for a minute and try again; a filling error that does not return was a timing problem rather than a plumbing one. - With the taps off, disconnect the hoses and look at the inlet screens. Grit there is common in older buildings and is a five-minute fix. - If the supply is proved good and the code persists, the inlet valve or the level sensing is next. ### Where this goes next The job this usually becomes is [diagnostic visit](/services/diagnostic-visit/), 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.
