The 4C error code on your Samsung washer can be frustrating, but the good news is that it is often easy to resolve. Consult your model’s user manual or manufacturer’s directions for step-by-step troubleshooting procedures.
Clean your washer’s water inlet filter, which can become clogged over time and cause the machine to trigger this error code. Also, ensure the water supply hoses are correctly connected and have no visible kinks or blockages.

Clogged water inlet hose filter
The water inlet hose filter keeps sediment and debris out of your washer but can clog over time. This restricts the flow of water and triggers error code 4c. To prevent this issue:
- Clean the filter regularly.
- Rinse it under running water and use a soft brush to scrub away stubborn dirt.
- Once the filter is clean, reinstall it securely.
Another common cause of error code 4c is a kinked or blocked water supply hose. Ensure the hoses are fully extended, with no bends or kinks. Additionally, check that the hoses are securely connected to the washer and the water source.
Also, regularly inspect and replace the hoses if damaged or worn out. Finally, ensure you follow the manufacturer’s maintenance guidelines to minimize the risk of clogging or other problems that can trigger error code 4c. Lowering your energy costs and extending your washer’s life will help you save money.
Faulty water inlet valve
Over time, the small screen filter that keeps grit and other debris out of your Samsung washer’s water inlet valve can get clogged and interrupt water flow into the appliance, triggering error code 4C. This is easily fixed by removing the filter and cleaning it.
Another common cause of error code 4c is a malfunctioning water inlet valve, which can be fixed easily. Turn off your washer, remove the hoses from the inlet valve, and disconnect the wires attached to the solenoid coils (there will be multiple, depending on the model). Use a multimeter to test each coil. If the meter reads infinite ohms of resistance, the coil is faulty and must be replaced.
You should be able to fix any problems with your Samsung washer that are causing error code 4c to appear by following these easy instructions. By implementing regular preventive maintenance and performing regular cleaning tasks, you can keep your washer running smoothly for years.
Water supply hose issues
If your Samsung washer has the 4c error code displayed, it typically indicates an issue with the water supply. You may need to check the hoses and inlet valves for blockages that can interfere with or restrict water flow into your washer. It’s also essential to ensure that the hoses are correctly connected and that there are no twists or kinks in them that can prevent the free movement of water.
You should also clean the filter in your washer’s water inlet hose. This can become clogged over time; a clogged filter can trigger the error code. You’ll need to turn off your washing machine to remove the filter, then unscrew and remove it. Rinse the filter with water and clean it off to remove any clogs. Once you’ve cleaned the filter, reinstall it and turn your washer back on to test it. If you still see the error code 4c, continue troubleshooting.
Low water pressure
If you have low water pressure throughout your home, it can make showering and washing dishes a frustrating experience. This problem is usually caused by broken pipes or a leak in the supply line that runs from your city water to your home’s piping system. If this is the case, you must have a professional plumber replace the broken pipes and restore proper water pressure to your home.
However, you can also do several simple things to improve your water pressure. For example, you can install a booster pump to increase the water pressure from the city supply line to your home’s piping system.
You can also adjust the pressure-reducing valve typically located on or near your water meter, which can help prevent water pressure in your home from becoming too high. Finally, you can check for clogged or damaged fixtures restricting water flow. Cleaning or replacing these fixtures can often resolve the problem.
