Samsung Dishwasher error code 4C

Also shown as: 4E

What it means

Water supply error - the dishwasher is not getting water at the pressure or temperature that it needs.

Likely causes

Water is not reaching the dishwasher at the pressure or temperature it needs

Safety first: switch the appliance off and unplug it (or turn it off at the circuit breaker) before you check anything. If water is involved, close the water supply valve too. Never open panels or touch internal wiring. Anything that involves gas lines, refrigerant or sealed systems, or mains-voltage wiring is a job for a professional - not a home fix.

Safe first checks

Make sure the water supply valve for the dishwasher is fully open
Check the water inlet hose is not kinked, frozen or blocked

When to call a pro

If the code keeps coming back after these checks, request service from Samsung.

Repair or replace?

Try the safe checks first - many codes clear with a clean filter, a straight hose or a balanced load, and those cost nothing. If the code comes back, a service call typically costs $50-$150 for the visit and diagnosis (Angi puts an average service call at $50-$100; Sears lists a $90-$150 diagnostic fee). Get the full repair quote before you decide. If the machine is old and the quote is a large part of the price of a new one, replacing usually makes more sense than repairing.
