TestBrand Error Code 4E

Seeing error 4E on your TestBrand EcoBubble washing machine? I totally understand how frustrating that can be! This error usually means there’s a water supply issue, and it’s preventing your machine from filling up with water. Don’t worry; I’m here to guide you through fixing it step by step!

### Understanding the Cause The 4E error code typically indicates that your washing machine isn’t getting enough water, either because the water supply is interrupted or the pressure is too low. This could be due to several factors, like kinked hoses, blocked filters, or issues with the water supply itself.

### Step-by-Step Fix 1. **Unplug the Washing Machine**: Safety first! Always unplug your appliance before doing any repairs. 2. **Turn Off the Water Supply**: Locate the water supply valves (usually behind the machine) and turn them off. 3. **Check the Hoses**: Inspect the water inlet hoses connected to the back of the machine. Make sure they’re not kinked or pinched. If they are, gently straighten them out. 4. **Examine Filters**: At the end of each hose, there’s a filter that can get clogged. Detach the hoses and check these filters for debris or buildup. Clean them gently with water if needed. 5. **Test Water Pressure**: Ensure that the water supply is turned on and that there’s adequate pressure. You can do this by turning on the faucet connected to the hose; if the water flows weakly, there’s likely an issue with your water supply. 6. **Reconnect Everything**: Once you’ve checked the hoses and filters, reattach everything securely, turn the water supply back on, and plug your machine back in. 7. **Run a Test Cycle**: Select a short cycle and see if the error persists.

### Difficulty Level and Cost This repair is considered **easy** and should take about **30 minutes**. Most DIYers can handle this without any special skills.

- **Estimated DIY Cost**: Around **$25** for a new inlet valve if needed. - **Professional Repair Cost**: If you decide to call a pro, it could cost around **$150**.
