Why the cold water is hot
Displays: 4C2, 4E2, CE, 14C2, nF1
Cause: each hose is on the other one’s inlet, so the line meant for cold carries extremely hot water
Applies to: all generations
The remedy
Swap the hoses back: the cold line belongs on the cold inlet and the hot line on the hot inlet, which usually works out as blue with blue and red with red. According to Samsung, a service visit is not indicated by this code.
Codes that look alike
4C, 1 4C, nF and 4E is the not-filling error, with too little water entering.
4E1 and 4Ed sits on a separate Samsung table as a water temperature issue, and 4E2 is the hose swap on US models.
Samsung washer service in the Bay Area
In the unlikely case that the code remains after the hoses are corrected, (415) 969-6153 reaches us for San Francisco and the Bay Area, and Samsung washer repair has background. Note the code, the model number and which colour of hose goes to which tap.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so 4C2 / 4E2 / CE / 14C2 / nF1 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
Hot/cold error: the cold supply delivers extremely hot water because the hoses are swapped.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
