Common Causes of the E1 Error:

• Water Supply Issues:
  • Closed water valve: Ensure both hot and cold water valves are fully open.
  • Low water pressure: Check if the water pressure from your taps is adequate.
  • Frozen pipes: If you live in a chilly climate, frozen pipes could be the culprit. Thaw them gently with warm towels or a hairdryer.
• Clogged Hoses and Filters:
  • Inspect the inlet hoses: Look for kinks, cracks, or blockages. Clean or replace damaged hoses if necessary.
  • Clean the water inlet filter: This tiny filter can trap debris, hindering water flow. Locate it near the inlet valves and remove it for cleaning.
• Internal Machine Issues:
  • Faulty inlet valves: These valves control water flow into the machine. If they malfunction, water won't reach the drum. Contact Samsung support for assistance.
  • Pressure switch malfunction: This switch detects water level. If it's faulty, the machine might think it's already full and stop filling prematurely. Samsung support can help diagnose and potentially repair this issue.
