Error code E4 indicates a water supply or inlet issue on your Fisher & Paykel washer. This error typically means the machine is not receiving adequate water flow or detecting a problem with the water inlet valve during the wash cycle.

Possible Causes

• One or both water inlet hoses disconnected or loosely connected • Hot and/or cold water supply valves turned off or partially closed • Inlet hoses kinked, pinched, or bent restricting water flow • Water inlet valve malfunction or valve solenoid failure • Clogged or frozen inlet hose screens (mineral buildup common in certain US regions) • Water pressure too low from main supply line • Inlet valve electrical connection loose or corroded • Faulty water level sensor • Control board communication error with inlet valve circuit
🛡️

Precautionary measures

• Verify both hot and cold water supply shutoff valves behind the washer are fully open by turning counterclockwise • Check that both inlet hoses are securely connected to water supply faucets and washer inlet ports • Inspect both inlet hoses along their entire length for kinks, pinches, bends, or damage • Straighten any kinked hoses and ensure they are routed without sharp bends • Turn off the water supply valves and carefully disconnect inlet hoses to inspect the small screens at connection points for sediment or mineral deposits, then rinse gently if needed • Ensure the washer drum is not overloaded, as this can affect water inlet operations • Verify your home's circuit breaker for the washer is in the ON position • Check that adequate water pressure exists at other faucets in your home • Confirm the washer door or lid is fully closed and latches completely before operation • Power cycle the washer by turning off the circuit breaker for 60 seconds, then turn back ON • Run a test cycle with no clothes to isolate whether the issue is water supply related • If error persists after all checks, contact a professional appliance repair technician or appliance repair support service to diagnose inlet valve or sensor issues
