Samsung Washer code **14C2** is associated with **water temperature / hot-cold supply error**. The display identifies the system or condition the control detected, but it does not by itself prove which individual part should be replaced. The useful diagnostic value of the code is the subsystem it identifies. A good repair process confirms the symptom, checks the accessible external conditions, and then follows the model-specific circuit only if the display returns. The recorded display form is **14C2**. Search normalization stores it as **14C2** while preserving the characters a homeowner actually sees.

Quick answer
Water temperature / hot-cold supply error.
Model compatibility: Samsung can reuse or reformat codes across series and model years, so 14C2 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 **14C2** is associated with **water temperature / hot-cold supply error**. The display identifies the system or condition the control detected, but it does not by itself prove which individual part should be replaced. The useful diagnostic value of the code is the subsystem it identifies. A good repair process confirms the symptom, checks the accessible external conditions, and then follows the model-specific circuit only if the display returns. The recorded display form is **14C2**. Search normalization stores it as **14C2** while preserving the characters a homeowner actually sees.
Signs
Symptoms you may notice
On affected Samsung washing machine models, the appliance can stop or limit the affected function when the code is detected.
When the 14C2 condition is present, the same code can return at a repeatable stage of operation.
A symptom that fits 14C2 is that other symptoms depend on the model and the subsystem named by Samsung.
The 14C2 display becomes more meaningful if 14C2 appears during the washer stage associated with water temperature / hot-cold supply error.
14C2 can be accompanied by this pattern: the cycle may 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.
With 14C2 recorded, record the exact code, model number, and operating stage before resetting power.
A safe owner-level check is to complete only the owner-accessible checks described in the model manual.
Before requesting service for 14C2, do not replace parts solely from a display code when wiring, conditions, or control feedback can create the same result.
The next non-invasive check is to record the code and the cycle stage where it appears.
For 14C2, start by doing this: verify owner-accessible water supply, drain hose/filter, load balance, door, detergent, or power only when relevant.
With 14C2 recorded, power-cycle once only where Samsung's guidance recommends it; if the same code returns, move to model-specific diagnosis.
Important safety warning. Safety takes priority over clearing 14C2. Disconnect power and stop use for active leakage near electrical parts, smoke, burning smell, or repeated breaker trips.

When to request repair service
If the code returns after the documented basic checks, request model-specific diagnosis of the affected subsystem. A repeatable 14C2 event is more useful diagnostically than repeated resets, because it shows when the water temperature / hot-cold supply 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.
One controlled restart is reasonable after correcting an obvious external issue. A recurring **14C2** display should be treated as diagnostic evidence, not as a reason to keep rebooting the appliance.
That depends on the accompanying symptom. A code with no safety hazard may allow a short diagnostic check, but **14C2** should not be ignored if performance is deteriorating or the display keeps returning.
Treat **14C2** as a starting point, not a replacement instruction. Wiring, feedback signals, operating conditions, and electronic controls can mimic a failed component.
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 14C2** separate from same-looking codes used by other Samsung appliance families.
