Let us discuss those reasons and determine what to do in such a condition.
Look Over Your Charger:
A faulty charger Socket, adapter, or charging chord can cause the issue of not charging your S23. Since most Smartphone companies don’t include a charger in the box, users have to buy the charger separately. There is a possibility that you might have purchased a duplicate charger that may operate at a different voltage. So it is suggested to check your charging unit first.

Device Detect Water & Moisture in Charger/ USB Port:
Samsung has a water resistance protection feature to detect moisture/water in a USB port. It is helpful to prevent the charging port from corrosion. Sometimes, your device doesn’t need to come in contact with water; humid conditions can accumulate water drops in the charging port. Observe the Charger port; if you find any sign of water droplets, wait for an hour; it will evaporate itself or gently clean with a dryer.
If you find no sign of water, recheck the notification. Even after confirming no water, the water icon shows your phone will not charge until it is removed. So follow the steps below to clear the Water icon-
- Go to your phone Settings
- Click on the Apps
- Now click on the Filter to get the System Apps (You can find the system apps in the older device in the three vertical dots option)

Test Your Phone with Samsung Member App:
After some observation, if everything looks fine, you can run a test on your Galaxy S23 using Samsung Member App. The app can diagnose a range of hardware; with this, we can also check the Charging Cable and Battery Status. Now the question is, How to run the test? Here follow the steps below-

Charge over Wireless Charger:
If the Samsung Member App charging Cable test is normal, there is no charging wire problem. But to ensure, you should try charging your Galaxy S23 over a Wireless charger. Place the phone over wireless charger coils to get the maximum possible connection. Also, don’t forget to remove the back case or cover.
You can always try the Qi enable device for wireless power share if you do not have a wireless charger. Notably, some Qi-compatible devices are the S23 series, S22 series, S21 series, S20 series, S10 series, S9 series, S8 series, S7 series, S6 series, and more. Adjust the phone on the back of other Qi to enable the phone to work correctly for the charge.
If the phone charge normally now, then there is a high possibility that your charging chord needs to be changed.
Try a Soft Reboot:

It will reset the device temporarily, and the issue can be eliminated.

Need to check Software Update:
It is advisable to check your software update if such an issue occurs, as some bug issues might prevent your phone from charging. And also, outdated software versions may cause such problems too. However, there is less possibility for Galaxy S23 users, as it was recently launched.
Although Galaxy S23 is a new device, Samsung regularly develops and improves the Software occasionally. Check if there is any software update available or any security patch.

Try the Safe Mode Option:
In most phone problems, there might be a third-party app causing all these issues. In such a case, you need to run your phone on safe mode. When Safe mode is enabled, the phone runs with the system app, and all third-party app is disabled temporarily.
