Error code E4 / E1
Appliance Washer
Quick answer

E4 is the current water supply error on Samsung washers, with E1 as the legacy code; older washers use E4 for unbalanced load.

Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so E4 / E1 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 supply error: no water filling detected; legacy E4 is an unbalanced load.

E4, or E1 on older units, is a water supply error: the washer does not detect that it is filling with water. E1 is the legacy code. Current and legacy codes are listed together, and meanings may differ by model.

Water supply checks

  1. Confirm the tap is on and that water pressure is between 0.5 and 8 bar.
  2. Check that the hoses are not kinked.
  3. Check the inlet filters inside the end of the water valve.
  4. If the water supply is fine, contact support.

Legacy E4: unbalanced load

On a legacy series E4 stands for UE, an unbalanced load. The spin stops for safety and it is not a fault. Redistribute the laundry. For a single large or heavy item, add 2 or 3 towels and spin again.

Related codes

  • E3: legacy overflow.
  • E8: hose on the hot supply.
  • E7: water level sensor issue.
