However, the liquid does not enter the compartment and the 4E error in the Samsung washing machine flaunts on the screen. Such an error can occur both at the beginning of the washing process and at the time of the operation. It is not uncommon for an error to occur during the rinsing process.
Those models in which there is no display, the 4E error in the Samsung washing machine occurs as follows: constantly burning temperature indicators. Among other things, an alarm occurs in the form of constantly flashing indicators for rinsing and spinning speed.

The filter is located at the connection point between the hose and the machine, directly in front of the inlet valve. You need to turn off the water supply to the machine, then unscrew the water supply hose and carefully remove the filter mesh with pliers. After that, gently, using a small needle, clean and rinse it under strong pressure.The second solution to the problem is a citric acid solution, in which a filter must be placed for a period of 30 to 60 minutes, after which all scale must dissolve and after washing, you will get a clean mesh.
