Samsung Washer 4C2 Code: Hot and Cold Hoses Swapped

Updated

Short answer

Samsung says 4C2 (4E2) on a washer means the water from the cold supply is extremely hot, which happens when the supply hoses are swapped. Samsung's first step: connect the cold supply to the cold inlet and the hot supply to the hot inlet; usually that means blue to blue and red to red. Samsung says this code does not indicate that service is needed. Usually no repair at all. Whirlpool recommends replacing inlet hoses every 5 years anyway (2026 cost guide).
