What 4C usually means
4C usually means the washer did not detect enough incoming water in the expected time.
Codes can vary by exact Samsung washer model number, production year, and regional design. Use this as first-pass guidance, then confirm the model-specific manual or manufacturer support page before opening panels or replacing parts.
First checks
Open both supply valves fully, inspect visible hose kinks, and confirm the home has normal water pressure.
A washer can show a fill code when a hose is kinked, a supply valve is partly closed, or inlet screens need model-approved cleaning.
- Open hot and cold supply valves fully.
- Straighten visible hose bends behind the washer.
- Check whether other faucets have normal pressure.
- Use only model-approved inlet screen cleaning steps.
When to stop
Stop if water keeps entering after cancellation, if hoses leak, or if the code returns after normal supply is confirmed.
Keep the full model number, exact 4C display text, cycle name, and timing ready before contacting Samsung support or a qualified technician.
Model numbers affected
Commonly searched model families include front-load washers, top-load washers, high-efficiency washers, laundry centers, and compact models.
This is not a confirmed model-number list. Match the exact code to the full model number on the appliance tag before ordering parts, opening panels, or booking service.
