Water Inlet Valve
The water inlet valve in the inside of your Samsung washing machine allows you to provide the tub with cold, warm or hot water to run the wash and rinse cycles. The electric solenoids regulate the valve. They are controlled by the electronic control board including the timer, water level control/water selector or the pressure switch. The valve that lets water into the water can be the cause of your issue if your Samsung washer fills up during a drain cycle. To verify that the valve is defective, unplug the washer when the symptoms appear. If the Samsung washer continues to fill, it is likely that the valve inlet is not functioning properly. The problem may be with the circuit controlling the valve. What you can do to check the water inlet valve on a Samsung washing machine using a multi-meter:
- Before you begin, shut off the power and water source to the Samsung washer.
- The valve needs to be removed to test it. It will be located behind the connection to the hose. To take the valve off, you’ll have to remove the cabinet for your washer.
- There may be screens in the valve that have become blocked by dirt and particles. It is recommended to clean any dirt or debris that you discover. Screens cannot be sold as a separate item and will need to be replaced if damaged. Also, you should inspect the valve’s exterior to check for wear, damage or cracks.
- The owner’s manual of your appliance will show you the readings of resistance for functional valves. They are different between Samsung washer models. Once you’ve identified the reading you should see the multi-meter should be set to Rx1 and connect the probes to the valve’s terminals. If the valve you’re using doesn’t have continuity, it can be replaced with the Samsung replacement valve.
The water level switch or pressure switch & air dome tube
The water level switch, which is activated by water pressure, is used to set the water level within the tub. The part is usually situated in the back of the control panel, and it will be fitted with a hose or an air dome tube that connects to the tub. On Samsung washers with an electronic control switch, the switch might be located in the bottom of the sump, beneath the tub. The water will fill up the tub and expand the air inside it, pushing against the diaphragm. The switch will control the valve that opens water and turn the valve off at the right level of water. How to check the water level switch on aSamsung washing machine:
- Because you’ll be working with electrical components, verify that you have disconnected the appliance prior to beginning.
- Begin by opening the Samsung cabinet for the washer and then taking out the air dome. Put the hose into water to seal one end and then blow it into the other. If bubbles start to rise to the surface, you’ll require a replacement air dome hose.
- Make sure to inspect the hose and switch for cracking, fraying or wear. 4. It is possible to replace your water level switch in the event that it has been damaged.
