The WA45H7000AW/A2 manual defines 4E as a fill failure, not imbalance. It documents a 3-minute drain interval when the Power button is unavailable. Before any operating guidance, check this model’s recall eligibility with Samsung using the full model and serial number privately on the official site.
Models covered
Exact WA45H7000AW/A2, subject to manufacturer recall eligibility and current instructions. Check status before use; this guide does not determine serial eligibility or confirm a recall repair.
Wait for motion to stop and the door or lid to unlock. Water may be hot. Isolate power and follow the exact manual before any user filter maintenance. Never open a filter against a full drum, force a lock or bypass an interlock.
Compare the behavior
Match the documented control, cycle or feature before interpreting the result. The comparison below keeps normal model behavior separate from an unresolved fault.
| Observed state | Interpretation / next step |
|---|---|
| Recall status unresolved | Manufacturer eligibility/instructions before operation. |
| 4E then Power temporarily unavailable | Matched manual’s protective drain interval. |
| UE instead of 4E | Different imbalance path; do not interchange meanings. |
Model-specific checks
Resolve recall applicability first
Use Samsung’s official recall checker. Do not enter a serial number into this site or run a test/spin cycle while recall instructions remain unresolved. Follow the manufacturer’s current direction for your appliance.
Read the code from the matched manual
4E belongs to filling. UE is the separate imbalance indication. Do not repeat an answer that assigns imbalance to 4E merely because the same model appears in it.
Understand the temporary nonresponse
The manual describes draining for 3 minutes with Power unavailable after 4E. Record that sequence rather than assuming a second control-panel fault. Recall instructions take precedence over retrying a cycle.
Record supply observations for support
Once manufacturer safety status and use instructions are resolved, note supply-valve availability, hose routing and whether both hot and cold supplies are connected. Have screens or connections checked with water isolated by the proper procedure; do not disconnect pressurized hoses.
What to record next
Check recall instructions before operating the washer. Use the complete code and this model’s documented timing when discussing a fill problem with Samsung. A routine operating test cannot replace the recall remedy process.
When to stop and get help
Only carry out maintenance permitted in your model’s manual. For service, note the full model number and suffix, displayed code, selected cycle and what happened during the checks. Leave internal wiring, gas components, pumps and safety devices to a qualified professional. A symptom alone does not identify a failed part.
