The Samsung washer is a state-of-the-art dishwasher, but occasionally you may see error codes. These error codes alert you that something is wrong. One error message you may get is the Samsung dishwasher error code 4E. If you receive this error code, you may be able to fix your dishwasher without calling a repair specialist.
What is the Samsung Dishwasher Error Code 4E?
If your Samsung Dishwasher is not working properly, your first step is to see if there are any error codes on the display. These error codes appear on the front display. One error code you may see is error code 4E. If you see what looks like a 4E on the display, chances are there is a problem with the water supply to the dishwasher. In other words, the dishwasher isn't getting enough water from your tap to wash your dishes.
How to Diagnose the Samsung Dishwasher 4E Code
There are several causes to why your Samsung dishwasher is displaying a 4E code, which is why you need to do some diagnostics to discover what the cause is. In many cases it is a blocked or kinked hose.
Check Your Water Tap and Water Supply Hoses
Make certain that your water tap is completely turned on and see if that clears up the problem. If your water tap is fine, check the water supply hoses for any kinks and straighten them out.
If you must unscrew the hose from the water tap or the back of the dishwasher, be sure to turn the water tap off first, or you may spray water everywhere. Just be certain to turn the tap back on fully when you reattach the water supply hose.
Check your Water Hose Mesh Filter
If there is no kink in the hoses and the tap is on, you may have a blocked water hose mesh filter. Turn the tap water off before you unscrew the supply hose from the back of the dishwasher. Using a pair of pliers, gently remove the screen mesh filter from the end. Rinse the screen mesh filter with water until all debris is gone from the filter. Replace the filter in the hose and make sure it fits snugly. Then, screw the water supply line on tightly to the dishwasher and turn on the water tap.
Other Possible Problems Causing a Samsung Dishwasher Error Code 4E
There are other possible causes for a Samsung dishwasher error code 4E. One cause might be that for some reason the water pressure is low in your house or in the line, itself. If this is the reason, contact a plumber to assess what needs to be done to remedy the situation.
Another reason your Samsung dishwasher is displaying an error is because of a faulty sensor or something is blocking the water inside the dishwasher. In this case, it's time to contact Samsung's support/service department. You may have a problem that requires a trained technician to fix.
