Samsung Washer 4E Error Code: Water Supply Fault (Top Load)
Quick Answer
4E and 4C are the same fault on different form factors. 4E fires on top-load models when fill pressure is not detected within 60 seconds.
4E on a Samsung top-load washer means the machine could not detect water entering the drum after starting to fill. It is the top-load counterpart to the 4C code on front-load models. Check that both supply valves are fully open, inspect inlet valve screens for sediment buildup, and test the valve solenoid with a multimeter if flow and screens are fine.

Symptoms You May Notice
- Machine starts but drum never fills with water
- Fill cycle begins then 4E code appears and machine stops

Tools Required for Diagnosis
Diagnostic Checklist
Follow these steps in order. We start with the easiest external fixes before opening up the machine.
Confirm both hot and cold supply valves at the wall are turned
Confirm both hot and cold supply valves at the wall are turned fully counterclockwise (fully open). Even a quarter-turn closed can reduce flow below minimum threshold.
Turn off both supply valves
With the washer unplugged, access the inlet valve
Replace inlet valve DC62-30314N if solenoid tests bad
Replacement Parts
If your diagnostic testing proves the component has failed, you will need a replacement. We recommend OEM parts over aftermarket for water-handling components.
