![]() ![]() With top-loader washers, the control panel will need to be removed and the washer cabinet lifted off. The top can be lifted off once screws at the back of the washer have been removed. On front-loader washers, the inlet valve can be accessed by removing the top of the washer. ![]() If a coil tests negative for continuity, the water inlet valve will need to be replaced.Īccess to the water inlet valve will depend on the washer model. The solenoids can be checked with a multimeter for continuity (a continuous electrical path). Over time the solenoid coils inside the inlet valve may fail. When the washer begins a wash cycle, voltage is sent to the water inlet valve, which opens to allow water to fill the tub. If you check off the above causes of the nF error code, the water inlet valve may have a defective solenoid. There should be a strong and constant flow of water. Place the water inlet hoses over an empty bucket and turn the water on. The water pressure can be checked by turning off the water and removing the water inlet hoses. ![]() If the water pressure is below 30 psi, the washer will not receive enough water, which causes the nF error code. Samsung washers require water pressure between 30 and 120 psi. To solve this issue, a splitter, which splits the water through both entry points, should be attached to the washing machine and inlet hose. The washer may be getting enough water to wash the clothes, but because both entry points are not receiving water, the washer displays the nF error code. Even if you use the washer with only cold water, the hot entry point still requires water to be feeding into it. Check that the Washer Is Receiving Water from Both Entry Pointsįor the washer to work correctly, it requires water from the two entry points (usually marked hot and cold). Wash the filters with water, using a brush to clean them. Depending on the model, you may be able to use needle-nose pliers to remove the filter. Locate the filters and check if they are clogged. To check the water inlet filters, turn off the water and disconnect the inlet hoses from the washer. If the filters are clogged, it could cause the nF error. Most Samsung washers will have filters where the water inlet hoses connect to the washer. Straighten out the hose if it is restricting the water supply to the washer. The washing machine may have been pushed too close to the wall to cause the problem. Occasionally, water supply hoses become kinked or crimped and cause the nF error code. ![]() The door or lid switch can be tested with a multimeter for continuity (a continuous electrical path) to determine if it needs to be replaced. If the door does close properly, there may still be a fault with the door or lid switch, as it could be falsely telling the control board or timer that the door is not closed. If the door is not closing properly, the door lock assembly will likely need to be replaced. The door switch (front-loaders) or lid switch (top-loaders) tells the control panel or timer to fill the washer once the door is closed correctly. Some Samsung washers will not fill with water if the door is not properly closed. Clean the filter with soap and water and return it to the washer. Then remove the debris filter by turning it clockwise and pulling it out. Remove the white drain plug from the hose, and drain the water into a large container. Open the debris filter access cover and locate the black rubber drain hose. If your Samsung washer has a debris filter, cleaning out the filter may resolve the nF error code. Clean Out the Debris Filter (Front-Loaders) The washer usually requires the water supply valves to be turned on all the way. Make sure to check both the hot and cold water supply valves. If the washer is showing an nF error code, check that the water supply to the washer is turned on. This guide applies to the following Samsung models: If the nF error code returns, follow the following steps to identify and fix the problem. Turning the power off and on will clear the false error code. Samsung washers have been known to have glitches in which the washer displays false error codes. If you get an nF error code, the first thing to do is shut off the power to the washing machine. The nF error code on a Samsung washer means that the washer is not filling with water (nF = no fill). ![]()
