I have a top loader Samsung WA80V3. First it overflowed and I have checked the pressure switch and cleaned the draining hose, filter.
Now its displaying 4E error when water reached its level. Its also not spinning when I put it on spin function to drain water.
Bradley,
Samsung 4E error means a water inlet problem or the machine cannot get water. Make sure the source water tap is turned on and check the water pressure.
Turn the machine OFF.
Turn the water tap OFF.
Remove the water hose from the tap and dispense the water into a sink.
Remove the entire hose. Check for Kinks. Check for Clogs.
Check if water supply is good.
Check, remove, and then clean the first mesh filter.
Check and clean the second mesh filter.
Test the unit by turning it on and by performing a normal wash cycle.

I have a Samsung WA45H7000A/A2 top load washer. It displays the 4E code during a wash cycle, but will work perfectly through just a rinse cycle. I have check the hoses and filters and all are fine and have good water pressure. Any input would be great!
Kirk,
If your Samsung washer gets the 4E error code, have you made sure the Water Hose Mesh Filters are clean? The error code 4E does mean the washer is having issues getting WATER supplied to it. This error will be released using Start/Pause button and the washing machine will restart and attempt to fill with water again.
If you replaced the water inlet valve and you still get the 4E error code, there is still some type of water supply issue. It may sound simple but check the Mesh Filters as this is one of the main reasons a Samsung washer will get the 4E error.
You may want to check the wiring coming from the Pcb and pressure switch and check the connections. Try opening the washer and clean the pressure bowl and pipes that run to the pressure switch.

I have a Samsung WA45H7000AW/A2 Washer Top Load, giving a 4E error, and I have done the following:
Checked to make sure the hot and cold are getting good pressure.
Made sure the hoses have no leaks, kinks or clogs.
The HOT and COLD are turned on and fully on.
Replaced the water inlet valve.
I tried different washes from Quick wash, normal wash, to rinse and spin. All fail.
I have also completed a successful calibration on it.
The washer starts, locks the door, begins the pre-wash (spray and spin drum), starts to fill both hot and cold. Gets about 10 minutes into the cycle with about 2 1/2 inches of water in the tub and then it throws a 4E error. Immediately it dumps the water and it takes about 10 minutes before you can power the washer off from the 4E error.
What else can I do?
Michele,
Without the error code we cannot be specific as to what part is bad or needs replaced. Can you run an empty load and see if the washer shows you an error code? Then let us know? Also, what is the model number of your Samsung washer?

My washer is a Samsung front loader and it won’t spin to finish the load what could this be it send out an error code. I can’t remember what the code is but it won’t spin the clothes. Does anyone know what this could be and what would I need to replace it? How much will it cost?? Please let me know.
S.E. Toth,
The Samsung error code D5 or DS is the same. The D5 error is actually DS. The code means the Samsung washing machine thinks the door is open or unlocked during the cycle. The door has to be checked to be sure it is shutting or closing correctly. Is it getting properly closed? The problem is related to faulty door locking assembly. You will need to check the door switch to confirm it is faulty. Let us know what you find.
