Samsung Washer NF Error Code: No Fill Detected

Quick Answer

NF fires on some top-load Samsung models instead of 4E for the same water supply fault. Diagnosis and repair steps are identical to the 4C/4E error.

NF is the no-fill error displayed on certain Samsung top-load models, equivalent to the 4C and 4E codes on other models. The machine opened the inlet valve but the water level sensor did not detect any rise in pressure. Check both supply valves are open, inspect inlet screens for mineral buildup, and test the valve solenoid with a multimeter if those checks pass.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between NF and 4E on a Samsung washer?
Both mean the same thing: no water detected during fill. NF and 4E appear on different Samsung top-load model variants. Some older Samsung top-load models display NF, while current models display 4E. The repair is identical.
Can NF appear even when the water is turned on?
Yes. Clogged inlet screens restrict flow enough to prevent the pressure sensor from detecting fill, even if water is technically flowing. Always clean the inlet screens as the first step even if you can hear water trickling.
