Common Samsung Washer Problems
- Washer not filling. For the 4C/4E/nF codes, Samsung says to confirm the hot and cold hoses go to the right inlets, are not bent, and that the supply valves are fully open. Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washing machine information and error codes
- Off balance, shaking. For UE/Ub unbalance codes, Samsung says to spread the laundry out, close the door and restart, and to follow the won't-spin steps if it keeps happening. Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washing machine information and error codes
What Samsung Washer Codes Mean

| 4C2 / 4E2 | Hot water is coming in on the cold side, usually because the inlet hoses are swapped. Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washing machine information and error codes |
