Error E1 in the Samsung washing machine may appear both at the start and during the final rinse of the laundry. It is easiest to identify a malfunction when turned on: after the start, the characteristic sound of a set of water is not heard.
What are the indicators and error codes on the scoreboard
Error 4E, similar to CE and 4C describe a common problem: for some reason, the machine does not fill water.
A wash without a screen will inform you of a problem by winking all the lights and the Cold Water indicator lit. The old Samsung model with display will display E1 on the display.
What to do to conduct an independent diagnosis
Before you fix a machine or order a repair, try checking it yourself. Sometimes a malfunction of the washing machine is caused by external causes.
- If the machine generates an E1 error, check if the water supply in the building itself is turned off.
- Make sure that the faucet on the water riser in the washing machine is fully open. Sometimes, ordinary mindfulness is enough to solve a problem.
There is no interruption in the water supply, but the Samsung washing machine shows E1. We will figure out what to do next.
4E is on, and this is the first time a problem has occurred - try restarting the electronic unit. Turn off the machine for a couple of minutes from the network - the control module glitch will disappear.
If error reset did not occur and E1 continues to glow, proceed to check the hardware of the CM.
How to fix minor issues
Small objects could damage or clog the cleaning filter, causing error E1. You can fix this problem yourself.
- Locate the filter (it is located at the junction of the hose and housing).
- Shut off the water supply, unfasten the hose, remove the mesh.
- If dirt is slight, rinse the filter. A solution of citric acid will get rid of scale on the grid (the grid in it must be kept for about an hour).
No current may be supplied to the control unit of the washing machine. Make sure the integrity of the wires and the reliability of their fastening.
Does the machine make a set of water, but immediately drain it (the temperature of the incoming liquid does not matter)? This happens during installation flaws, when the tank is located above the sewer drain point, and the compensating loop is not laid on the hose.
Correct connection will remove the error.
Problems requiring specialist intervention
If the measures taken have not yielded results and the Samsung machine still shows an error, a qualified repair will be required.
The table will help you sort out the causes of the trouble codes.
Malfunction | Possible reasons | What to do |
The washing machine does not pick up well or does not fill up with water at all. Shows on the display E1, 4E or 4C. | The inlet valve has become unusable. | Change part. |
When the washing program started, an error 4 C or similar codes was displayed. | Defective control unit. | Sometimes the malfunction is eliminated by soldering the circuit. In case of complex damage to the module, the unit needs to be replaced. |
When washing starts, the machine generates a CE error. | The problem is the pressure switch. Most likely, the hose is displaced, clogged or damaged mechanically. If there is a problem with the water level sensor itself, the 1E indicator is more often displayed. | The hose must be replaced or repaired. |
Water does not flow into the washing machine, a short time after start-up displays 4E. | Between the electronic block and the water inlet valve, the wires are damaged. | The wiring must be reconnected or a cable loop replaced. |
