The Replacement Part, a water inlet valve, plays a crucial role in controlling the water flow to the tub of Samsung top-loading washing machines.
Constructed from molded plastic, this linear, hot, and cold water inlet valve is a vital part when the existing valve fails. Additionally, it prevents leaks or flooding caused by an overrunning water flow.
Replacement involves disconnecting water and power. Remove the back panel, detach the hoses, disconnect the wiring from the solenoid switch, and install the new valve.
Reconnection of the wiring, hoses, back panel, water, and power is required, and a leak test is advised.
Tools needed for this multi-step repair include a screwdriver, a small flathead screwdriver, pliers, and vice grips.
