Quick answer
These codes mean the cold supply is delivering extremely hot water because the hoses are swapped. Reconnect them correctly.
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: cold supply water is extremely hot because the hoses are swapped.
When a Samsung washer displays 4C2, 4E2, CE, 14C2 or nF1, the water coming from the cold supply is extremely hot. That happens when the hoses are swapped, so cold is connected to hot and hot is connected to cold. The code applies to all generations.
The fix
Connect the cold supply to the cold inlet and the hot supply to the hot inlet. This usually means matching blue to blue and red to red. Samsung states that this code does not indicate that service is needed.

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.
