Samsung HC4 Error Code: Meaning, Fix & Cost

What HC4 Means

The dishwasher may complete a wash, but it fails during drying or ends early, immediately posting HC4. There is unusually hot air at the door vent just before stopping and beeping near the end. Ensure nothing is covering the exterior vent and that loading inside the tub isn’t pressed up against the inner vent outlet, allowing hot air to move freely.

Likely cause: Door not fully latched, latch mechanism damaged, or door sensor fault

Estimated Repair Cost $200-400

Ensure door/lid is fully closed and latched. Check for obstructions preventing closure. Inspect door latch and strike for damage. Reset power at breaker for 30 seconds. If persists, door latch assembly or door sensor needs replacement.
