How do I fix a error code 4E for the Samsung washing machine J1453S? The manual says to check the water source faucet is turned on, and check the water pressure. Both are fine but the error code still comes on when on a normal cycle. Any suggestions?

1. Remove atmospheric pressure switch.
2. Install new machine around pressure switch, making sure the new machine is NOT a samsung.

I get the error 4e on my Samsung washing machine digital inverter top load.
Checked all problems as displayed. No water issue or pressure.
Starts as normal and after a while it just drains off the water and does not continue to wash.
Don't know what else to do.

Thanks All,

My Samsung WA95W9 also got error E4.
I opened behind 2 screw, straightly I saw small plastic pipe is open from clip ( Pneumatic Pipe for level sensor ).
I put it back and all are back to Normal Conditions.

Cheerssss.....

In my case, I am getting error 4E Samsung WA90VPB Washing Machine.

Checked Inlet Pipe found - OK.
Inlet Water pressure - OK.
Water is flowing and entering in a wash tub.
But it is not accumulating there it is draining.

When I switch on the machine, it starts normally, but after couple of minutes it gives error 4E and stops working. (I think Water is not accumulating in a wash tub hence there is no pressure generating)

Please advice.

Thanks & Regards.

I fixed the 4e problem on my samsung washing machine by poking a hole threw the built in aluminiun barerer ln one of the lnlet pipes of the box where water is distibuted with a knitting needle and spinning it around to get the biggest hole.On my machine it was the right hand pipe.It looks like a built in defect that after time a little calk will cause the originally too small hole to close a little causing the fill up time to be to long causing a 4e error.

Thanks for the advice re cutting the pipe, found the fault in seconds. Fastest repair on anything I have ever done

Great tip from David! It worked on mine!

David's solution was spot on for me.

if your machine has been spinning violently then the pressure switch could have broken off this has just happened to me after my belt became loose the engineer has had to order a new one.

Do as above!! Easy repair, just remember to turn off the power and two pairs of hands are useful with the clamp....Machine fully working again!!

machine keeps taking in water

I had this today, and it was because there was a tear in the air hose leading to the pressure switch. It's a very easy fix that you can do yourself. Turn the power off at the mains (very important), open the machine up by taking off the lid (just unscrews at the back), and the pressure switch is a small circular white plastic object at the top, just behind the timer. The air hose comes in underneath on my model. It had a small tear in it so the air was leaking out. I trimmed the hose and reclamped it to the switch. The pressure switch is what the machine uses to tell how much water has come in, so if it doesn't work then it will throw an error. Took about half an hour all in.
