Error 4e in Samsung washing machine
Automatic washing machines with electronic displays are no longer new. The information that appears on the small screen while you work can be very useful. Indeed, in addition to the washing duration and water temperature, machine manufacturers included error codes in the program. Let's deal with one of these errors - error 4e in a Samsung washing machine.
Description of error 4e
Error 4e means that for some reason the washing machine does not draw water. This is easy to understand: after all, you can’t hear the sounds of water gathering, and you can’t see the flow of water through the glass of the drum. Error 4 e in a Samsung washing machine can occur both at the very beginning of washing and during rinsing, when the soapy water has already been drained, but clean water does not flow.
In some Samsung washing machine models, a similar error is indicated not by code 4e, but by code 4c.
Causes
The occurrence of such an error can be caused by the following reasons:
- Lack of cold water supply.
- A foreign object is stuck in the water fill valve.
- When connecting to the water supply, an error occurred in connecting hot and cold water.
- There is no water pressure, there is no pressure in the water supply.
- The hose is not connected to the detergent container.

The first thing to do is open the cold water tap and make sure it is not turned off.
If water is supplied to the apartment, but the machine still does not start washing, showing error 4e on the screen, then you need to:
- Check the tightness of the tap and valve through which water is supplied; there may be leaks. Typically, leaking water is the main cause of this error.
- Check the pressure at which water is supplied through the hose.
When the water pressure is strong, the reason may be a clogged inlet filter. It is enough to clean it or replace it and try to start the washing machine again. If error 4e appears on the screen again, then the problem is with the internal parts of the washing machine, which requires calling a technician.
How to fix error 4e when there is no water supply pressure at all. In this case, it is necessary to check the water supply hose to the washing machine; we have clearly presented how to do this in the form of a diagram.
If you still cannot find out the reason why the machine displays error 4e, you need to contact a Samsung service center. Perhaps the reason is a breakdown of the internal parts of the machine, but only a professional can say this.
When error 4e appeared before starting the rinse cycle, then the steps to eliminate it should be as follows:
- Check whether cold water is supplied to the apartment.
- Turn off the power to the washing machine.
- Make sure the drain hose is connected correctly.
- See what is the pressure of water passing through the inlet hose.
- Turn on the machine and run it in the “Rinse and Spin” mode
- If the error appears again, you will have to call a household appliance specialist.
Errors 4e and e4: the same thing?
In search of the reasons for the appearance of error 4e on a washing machine, some people type in the Internet search engine not 4e, but e4. This is not right, because these are two completely different errorscaused by various reasons. Error e4 means that there is an imbalance in the machine drum. The reasons for this are as follows:
- too much laundry, the permissible volume has been exceeded;
- perhaps there is too little laundry;
- the laundry has bunched up and stuck to the drum;
- problems with the electronic controller, defects in machine drive parts.
Error 4e is one of the most common errors. To fix it, you need to have some skills, in particular, be able to connect a water supply hose. There are other error codes that may indicate a serious problem with your washing machine. They are described in the article Samsung machine error codes.

Thanks for clarifying the difference between E4 and 4E. The problem has been resolved.
For some reason, error 4E only appears in (wool) mode. It works great in all other modes! What's the matter?
For me the error occurs only on washing programs. The water works great for rinsing.
Strange
They just fixed it yesterday. From the inlet hose to the powder loading tray, it is separated into three. Each compartment has its own water hose. The one that supplies water during programs is clogged. Those. The machine is used to weigh laundry. And during a quick wash, it immediately pours water. That's why I didn't understand it right away. Sometimes it erases, sometimes it doesn’t. At first I sprayed for half an hour. And then she actually wrote to me 4e. The technician arrived and cleaned the water supply hose to the first compartment of the tray. 10 minutes complete repair.
Did not work out. Replaced the water supply valve.I just broke some plastic thing nearby that supplies water to the compartment where the fabric softener is poured :)
The same song, only 4e appears during the wash, but when rinsing everything is fine.
4E appears only on washing programs, it erases everything, 18 minutes before the first rinse this error appears, you turn on the rinse and spin - the water fills in perfectly, the machine works without error. What is the problem? Maybe the program has gone wrong. How to troubleshoot?
