Samsung Washer code **1 4C** is associated with **water supply / fill error**. The display identifies the system or condition the control detected, but it does not by itself prove which individual part should be replaced. A display code is evidence from the control system, not a component test result. That distinction matters because a connector, supply condition, obstruction, or feedback signal can mimic a failed component. The recorded display form is **1 4C**. Search normalization stores it as **14C** while preserving the characters a homeowner actually sees.

Quick answer
Water supply / fill error.
Model compatibility: Samsung can reuse or reformat codes across series and model years, so 14C 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
Samsung Washer code **1 4C** is associated with **water supply / fill error**. The display identifies the system or condition the control detected, but it does not by itself prove which individual part should be replaced. A display code is evidence from the control system, not a component test result.

Signs
Symptoms you may notice
1 4C can be accompanied by this pattern: the appliance can receive too little water or fail to confirm the expected water level.
While 1 4C is active, the code often appears near the beginning of a fill stage.
While 1 4C is active, water can enter slowly, intermittently, or not at all.
Depending on the exact model, 1 4C appears during the washer stage associated with water supply / fill error.
While 1 4C is active, the cycle can pause, stop, retry, drain, or refuse to advance until the condition is cleared.

Before you call
Safe checks you can make
These are simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.
For 1 4C, start by doing this: confirm the household water supply valve is fully open where the appliance uses one.
As an external check for 1 4C, check accessible supply hoses for kinks and clean inlet screens only as described by Samsung.
As an external check for 1 4C, check whether water actually enters before the code appears.
Before opening any service area, verify hot/cold hose routing and water pressure when relevant to the exact appliance.
As an external check for 1 4C, record the code and the cycle stage where it appears.
For 1 4C, start by doing this: verify owner-accessible water supply, drain hose/filter, load balance, door, detergent, or power only when relevant.
Important safety warning. Safety takes priority over clearing 1 4C. Disconnect power and stop use for active leakage near electrical parts, smoke, burning smell, or repeated breaker trips.

When to request repair service
If supply flow is proven good and the display returns, inlet valves, flow/level sensing, wiring, or control electronics may require diagnosis. A repeatable 1 4C event is more useful diagnostically than repeated resets, because it shows when the water supply / fill error check is failing.
Book your repair
Seeing this code on your Samsung appliance?
Book a specialist visit for a clear estimate and approval before any repair.
A single documented power reset can help after an external condition or power event is corrected. If **1 4C** returns at the same stage, repeated resets only erase useful evidence and do not repair the cause.
Do not keep operating the appliance through a hazardous symptom just to see whether **1 4C** clears. If there is heat, water, electrical, gas, or food-safety risk, stop and arrange diagnosis.
Not automatically. Samsung error codes are diagnostic indicators, not part numbers. Confirm the circuit around **1 4C** before replacing anything.
The same-looking code can be reused on another Samsung appliance family or reformatted by region/model year. Match the appliance type and exact model before applying a meaning. This page therefore keeps **Washer 1 4C** separate from same-looking codes used by other Samsung appliance families.
