Check the port
Moisture detected error usually pops up if the charging port is wet or has traces of liquid in it. This can happen after exposing the device to water or liquid, or when using it in humid environments. This error is a reminder for the user not to charge the phone unless the port is dry.
Water naturally evaporates after some time so there’s no need for you to do anything except to wait. Once the charging port is clear of water or moisture, the error should also go away.
Check for any accessory problem
If Moisture detected error remains even after you’ve thoroughly dried the phone already, there may be other factors behind the trouble. The moisture detected error may show up even when the phone is dry if a charging accessory or port is damaged. To see if the issue is caused by a charging cable or adapter, try to charge the device using another known working cable or adapter. If it won’t help in fixing your issue, visit your local Samsung store or Service Center so a qualified Samsung technician can examine the hardware.
