Quick answer
4E1 and 4Ed point to a water temperature issue. Make sure the water hose is on the cold supply.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so 4E1 / 4Ed 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
Water temperature issue (4E family; 4E2 is a hot/cold hose swap on US models).
4E1 and 4Ed are listed by Samsung as a water temperature issue. They come from the Levant code table, which covers current and legacy codes, so meanings can differ by model. In the same 4E family, 4E2 is a hot/cold hose swap on US models.
What Samsung says to check
Look at the water hose and confirm it is connected to a cold supply and not a hot one. Cold water is usually indicated by a blue tap. If the problem persists, contact support.
For a Samsung washer in Los Angeles that still shows the code after the hose check, dial (310) 896-4231. Our washer repair page has details, and it helps to have the code and model number ready.
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.
