Direct answer

  1. Confirm 4C2, 4E2, CE, 14C2 or nF1 on the exact model

    Reversible

    Photograph the complete display, record the model tag and note the cycle stage. Similar-looking codes can mean different things on another product line.

  2. Check the condition named by the code

    Reversible

    Turn off both valves and trace each hose from the wall to the labeled washer inlet.

  3. Correct the remaining user-serviceable cause

    Reversible

    Reconnect cold to cold and hot to hot; do not rely only on hose color if the wall valves are mislabeled.

  4. Run one controlled verification

    Reversible

    Run a cold cycle and confirm the incoming water stays cold and the code clears. Plumbing service is needed if the household valves themselves are reversed or supply unsafe temperatures.
