Samsung Washer Not Filling With Water: 4C Error, Valve, and AquaJet Fix

Quick Answer

Samsung washer not filling displays 4C (or 4E on some models) error code. 4C means no water detected during the fill phase. Check both supply valves behind the washer. Samsung-specific: Active WaterJet models have a built-in faucet on the lid that uses the same water supply - if this faucet was left on, it may have reduced water pressure to the fill valve.

Samsung inlet valve screens clog with mineral deposits in hard water areas. Remove hoses, clean screens with vinegar and toothbrush. Samsung top-loaders: the water level sensor uses an air pressure system - if the pressure hose is clogged with detergent residue, the sensor reads incorrectly.
