Samsung Front Load Washer Water Inlet Valve Parts — Models & Compatibility

If your Samsung front load washer won't fill with water, fills too slowly, or won't stop filling, the water inlet valve is likely the culprit. This hub covers the DC62-00266G replacement valve, which fits most Samsung WF and WA series washers from recent model years. We'll show you how to verify compatibility with your specific machine.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

The DC62-00266G inlet valve works with Samsung front load and top load washers manufactured between approximately 2015-2023. Your model number is printed on a sticker inside the door frame (front loaders) or under the lid near the hinge (top loaders). It'll start with WF (front load) or WA (top load) followed by numbers and letters.

Compatible series include WF42H, WF45R, WF45T, WF45A, WF45B, WF46BB, WF50R, and WF50A front loaders, plus WA50R, WA52A, and WA54R top loaders. The complete model list appears below — match yours exactly, including any suffix letters like /A2 or /US.

About This Replacement Part

The water inlet valve controls water flow into your washer's tub. It's an electrically-operated solenoid valve with dual ports — one for hot water, one for cold. When your washer's control board calls for water, it sends voltage to the appropriate solenoid, opening that side of the valve. The DC62-00266G replaces Samsung part numbers AP5966622 and PS11719652, which are identical valves with different reference numbers.

This valve typically fails in one of two ways: it won't open (no water flow), or it won't close completely (continuous filling or leaking). Hard water deposits can clog the internal screens, while electrical failures can prevent the solenoids from energizing. If your washer displays error codes like 4E or 4C (Samsung's water supply errors), check this valve first before calling for service.

Installation Overview

Replacing the inlet valve requires shutting off both hot and cold water supply lines, disconnecting the hoses from the back of the valve, removing the electrical connectors, and unbolting the valve assembly from the rear panel. You'll need a pair of pliers, a nut driver or socket set, and towels to catch residual water. Most DIYers complete this repair in 30-45 minutes.

The valve mounts to the back panel with two or three screws. Internal hoses connect from the valve to the detergent dispenser and tub — these typically use spring clamps or push-fit connections. Replace the rubber inlet port gaskets if they show any cracking or compression damage to prevent leaks.

When to Replace vs. Clean

If water flow is weak but present, try removing the valve and cleaning the inlet screens first. These fine mesh screens trap sediment and can become blocked with hard water scale or debris from old plumbing. Soak them in white vinegar for an hour, then scrub gently with a soft brush.

However, if there's no flow at all, or if the valve leaks from the solenoid housing itself, cleaning won't help — you need a replacement. Electrical failures (measured with a multimeter at around 500-700 ohms resistance per coil) also require a new valve. The DC62-00266G valve is a complete assembly; individual solenoids aren't sold separately.

Compatible Models

The DC62-00266G water inlet valve fits the following Samsung washer models. This list represents the most common applications — verify your exact model number before ordering:

• WF42H5000AW/A2 — 4.2 cu ft front load washer
• WF45R6100AW/US — 4.5 cu ft front load with Steam
• WF45R6100AC/US — 4.5 cu ft front load (champagne finish)
• WF45R6300AV/US — 4.5 cu ft front load with Vibration Reduction
• WF45T6000AW/A5 — 4.5 cu ft front load with Self Clean+
• WF45T6000AV/A5 — 4.5 cu ft front load (brushed black finish)
• WF45A6400AW/US — 4.5 cu ft front load with Super Speed
• WF45A6400AV/US — 4.5 cu ft front load (brushed black)
• WF45B6300AC/US — 4.5 cu ft front load with AI OptiWash
• WF46BB6700AD/US — 4.6 cu ft front load with WiFi
• WF50R8500AV — 5.0 cu ft front load with Steam
• WF50A8600AV/US — 5.0 cu ft front load with AI OptiWash

Additional models in the WF45, WF50, WA50, and WA54 series also use this valve. If your model number isn't listed but starts with these prefixes and was manufactured after 2015, it's likely compatible — but verify the original part number on your existing valve before ordering.
