Can I keep running the equipment with this fault active?

Generally no. Faults on Appliance units are emitted when a sensor, safety, or control circuit is outside its operating envelope. Running through an active fault risks compressor, heater, or control-board damage. Diagnose and clear the fault first.

Samsung Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve Replacement — What This Part Does

The water inlet valve is an electrically actuated component that opens to let household water into the dishwasher tub at the proper time in each cycle. It meters incoming water for wash and rinse functions and closes to prevent continuous flow when the dishwasher is idle. The valve fails when its internal solenoid coil burns out, mineral deposits or sediment clog the valve screen or body, or the valve mechanism sticks from age and scale buildup. If the valve cannot open electrically or is mechanically restricted, the dishwasher cannot get the water it needs. A valve that leaks when it should be closed can trip the leak detector sensor and prevent the dishwasher from starting or cause a blinking Normal light on some Samsung models.

Jump to Replacement Steps

Signs It Needs Replacing

Dishwasher does not fill with water The cycle starts but no water enters the tub, which means the valve coil has failed or the valve is stuck closed.
Underfill or slow fill Water enters the dishwasher but the fill volume is low or takes much longer than normal, typically from a clogged valve screen or partially stuck valve.
Intermittent fill or cycle interruption The dishwasher fills inconsistently or stops mid-cycle because the valve opens and closes erratically due to a failing solenoid or sticking mechanism.
Blinking Normal light or leak error The Normal cycle light blinks and the dishwasher will not start, which on Samsung models can indicate a leaking inlet valve that is tripping the leak detector sensor.
Water pooling under the dishwasher Leaks at the valve body, fittings, or hose connections allow water to escape and collect under the unit or trigger leak-related fault codes.
Valve hums but no water flows You hear the valve energize but water does not enter, pointing to a mechanically stuck valve or a completely blocked valve screen.

How to Replace It

Shut off power to the dishwasher at the breaker and turn off the water supply valve under the sink or at the wall connection.
Remove the lower access panel at the front of the dishwasher (usually held by screws) and pull the dishwasher forward enough to access the inlet valve area at the lower left or right side of the unit.
Place a shallow pan or towels under the valve, then disconnect the water supply line from the valve inlet (use an adjustable wrench if it is a threaded compression fitting).
Remove the hose clamp securing the discharge hose to the valve outlet and slide the hose off the valve body.
Unplug the electrical connector from the valve terminals and remove the mounting screws that secure the valve to the dishwasher frame.
Transfer any elbow fittings or adapters from the old valve to the new valve if the replacement part does not include them.
Mount the new valve using the original screws, reconnect the discharge hose and secure it with the hose clamp, then thread the water supply line onto the valve inlet and tighten snugly.
Plug the electrical connector back onto the valve terminals, slide the dishwasher back into position, and reinstall the lower access panel.
Turn on the water supply and power, then run a short test cycle and check for leaks at the valve connections and under the dishwasher.

When to Call a Pro

If you are not comfortable working with water supply lines or electrical connections, or if your dishwasher is built in and difficult to access, call a professional appliance repair technician. If you replace the valve and the dishwasher still does not fill or shows leak errors, the problem may be a failed control board, wiring harness issue, or leak sensor that requires professional diagnosis and repair.
