My wife and I cannot thank you enough for making this video! Water was coming out the rear of our washer and also the water would turn on unexpectedly and fill the drum even when we weren't washing clothes. My wife discovered your video and put me to work. Saved us quite a bit of money and time. We are back in business. Much appreciated!
4 years plus now!! Saved me a good amount of money so I had to throw him a little cash. I think more people on here should. A visit alone from a repairman costs $60
Thank you! Great instructions. I clicked on your link for the part, but I was able to find one for 1/3 the price just letting you guys know. Thanks again!
Yeah, that one is an OEM.... made the mistake of ordering it and finding a generic for 1/3 the price on amazon (1/4 buying local). Just google the part number. I could go through three generic valves before it costs me what the OEM costs.... Samsung has ALWAYS been like that (as much as I love their products and at the end of the day, most OEMs do this....
Our WA56H9000AP/A2 won't go into test mode as your video shows but I decided to swap the water inlet anyway since the part is cheap ($35) and your video made the swap look fairly easy. The washer would keep filling after doing a hot load but now it works great. Thank you so much for posting this! Liked and subscribed!
Found this video through a Google search, was able to confirm the diagnosis, ordered the part through your Amazon link and swapped it out in less than 20 minutes. Thank you so much for such an informative and short How To video.
These instructions were so good I feel like I could have just taken them and applied them to probably what is a basic valve system in washing machines. Basically, a standard "how to replace your washing machine water valve (probably)"
Have the same washer but my symptom was water was slowly leaking out the back of the washer even when the washer was off. Noticed the water was coming from below the external hose connections. I would also get water pooling in the detergent tray. Replaced this part and I am good to go! Thanks a million for the video - saved me a ton of time.
Thank you! I’m just a mom of three who didn’t want to buy a whole new washing machine and your instructions walked me through flawlessly. My husband is at work and I need to wash some clothes- I didn’t want to wait until tonight to fix it! One thing you might suggest is for people to try and clean out their current valve; mine had a ton of debris in one of the inlets. I cleaned it out and put it back on. Works like a charm! I figured if that worked I wouldn’t even need a new one. It may not last long, but it’s fine for now! Thank you, thank you!
Great video, very easy to follow. I was able to determine what the problem was and fix it myself. Just so you know, I’m no handyman. I have one screwdriver and a pair of pliers, thankfully that’s all I needed.
Heck yeah! I love it. Appliance repair is not bad. Most calls anyways. Some give you trouble but most are fairly easy if you know what to look for. Glad we could help man!
Hreat troubleshooting video. Unfortunately, I'm still habe an issue with the water not shutting off. All valves shut when tested but during operation, the water won't stop for the designated load amount. Any other tips?
Hey there! I had this same issue, where one of the valves wouldn't close and the washer kept filling. I looked up the problem online and found this video. After confirming that it was indeed the issue (by following your troubleshooting steps), I ordered the replacement part. Your walkthrough was perfect, and I'm happy to report that the inlet valves have been replaced and the unit is working again. Thanks so much for the helpful video! That really helped me out. =)
Would changing the inlet valve apply to the blue colored spout where the rinse water comes from? This is the only spout that doesn't stop running sometimes
@@BeardedApplianceRepair Yes it did, thanks, awesome video to about 45 minutes. You're awesome saved me time and money, only paid about $40.00 from amazon.
The problem is not with filling the washer. The problem is that it fills and empties then repeats in a continuous cycle and then pauses with an 8B error code.
When I do the Temp/Soil Level Test Mode on my Samsung WA45H7000AW/A2, and run thru the Water temps, no water comes out when I'm in the WARM temp. My unit is taking a very, very long time to get thru Rinse/Spin cycle and sometimes throws a 4E error. Any thoughts? Valve replacement ? My Cold Temp doesn't flow as much water as your machine too.
Hey thank you for the help I have this exact washer and I’m having problems with the I think water level sensor? It fills up fine and when I push pause it stops but it fills up to the top and doesn’t stop any input?
I tried pressing both spin and soil, then the power button. (All together) Mine will not go into that test mode. I did some more research and went to 17h delay (start for 10 seconds) then it went to a whole test mode. No leaks no issues. Could this have been a random fluke? It was a lot of water seemed like it came out over the top. I did follow the water trail.
I have the exact same Samsung model. My issue is that it leaks from bottom. I’ve checked the hoses (secured and clamped), the hot and cold inlet valves, and the detergent tray. My drain pump is good shape, no blockage. I didn’t know about the diagnostics feature. Will the diagnostics give me an accurate reading on the problem? As of now, I get a 4E error as well. Any further advice is appreciated. Thanks!
If it’s filling with too much water you have a somewhat complicated issue. The pressure switch monitors the water level and it could be a number of different reasons why it’s not working right. Hopefully you just have a bad valve. So if you’re not getting water then it will be easier to diagnose. Make sure your water valve(s) are working and that the pressure is good. The leak can even be the cause of the error if it’s a serious leak. The water may be leaking as fast as the water is coming in. I think you would have been able to find that leak though. It’s probably small. Try and find the leak by just following the water trail. There is a panel in the back. You can take that off and look underneath the washer and see where the water is coming from. Looking for any drips would be the way to start. Gravity should show you the way.
@@BeardedApplianceRepair Thanks! I checked all my hoses and valves, I guess there was a hose that was loose, and I didn't catch it the first time around. I replaced the clamp so that the hose would be more secure. I ran a load and it was successful. No more leaks! I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for sharing.
Hello I replaced the water valves! Proud of myself! Great video, but it still overfills when the temp is on either eco warm, warm, or hot. Any other ideas of what it could be or how to fix? Thanks in advance!
Did you ever find out what it was? Was it the pressure/Level switch? Mine is doing the same thing as yours and I want to avoid swapping out a part that I don't have to.
@@lisaschroth4097same here. Cold water shuts off fine. Hot does not, but they all shut off like they should when doing this test. Tells me it’s not the valve or pressure switch. I’m leading toward it being the control board but like you don’t want to just throw parts at it, process of elimination style.
I followed these steps worked great but now when water goes to the softner it will not stop flowing and this is with new water inlet valve, any suggestions?
I tried the test you detail. My issue is when cycling through all the lights don't turn on after pressing the temp button. The water runs on cold, hot, etc., but never all lights on as described. When I finish the last push the water does stop, after slowly running about 30 seconds. Does this mean I have a defective valve, and should I just replace the part?
Hello sir! I followed your video and I’m not sure this is my problem… My washing machine will rinse and spin repeatedly without really spinning… is that a fixable problem? Thank you!
I'm working on one that doesn't turn off while in quick wash mode but turns off when the power is turned off. Could that be the water fill sensor not working correctly?
Tech sheets. If you can get your hands on those it will tell you everything you need to know. Well everything you need to know in regard to how to test things. Samsung washers in particular the are in a bag located on the rear of the machine. A lot of times they will be missing, but heck yeah if they are there. Every brand is different on where the tech sheet is located. Starting this year whirlpool is not going to push tech sheets on washing machines. They are going away so if you really need them you can join appliantology.org/. If you’re a member you can either request or look up tech sheets for help. Even ask for advice on certain issues you’re experiencing. Glad to be of service C G. Thanks for the comment!
Pro tip verify which water valve yours has because no matter how similar they look for whatever reason you can’t use the 15459g in place of a 15459h. Your machine somehow will know and it will take forever to wash and your wife will treat you like you’re stupid and broke her machine worse than it was prior and make you put the messed up valve back in it. Don’t ask me how I know this.. 😂
So I have tested the water supply valve and it functions properly. I also checked resistance on it and it is within spec. The supply lines are clear of debris. The only thing left is the circuit board, that I’m aware of, is that pretty common?
will it continuously fill like in the video? If so the control board is very rare to fail in that case. I am sure it can happen but I have not personally seen it in the field. Try again to see if the water valve sticks open when power is un-applied. sometimes you have to try it numerous times to get it to duplicate the issue.
I have a washer very similar to this, but my issue is that it won’t turn on. It plays the chime of turning on, but no lights. I have attempted to fix it and see the main control board receives 120V. A green light flashes every 5 seconds on the board and when I attempt to turn on the washer on, another green light flashes for 3 times, on the third flash it seems to get cut off short. Any help would be greater appreciated.
That's a good question. When it comes to these it could be either the panel or the board. The panel is what I would start out with. It is risky either way your gambling with it but us as techs do it everyday lol.
I tested mine but the water stops. My mom said it was leakin yesterday and wouldn't drain. How would I test the motor? Just start an empty cycle and hope for the best? Lol
Those pumps are notorious for going out. I replace a lot of them. Run a drain and spin and see if you hear the drain pump motor running. If you do likely it is the pump. Could also be something down in the housing. Take it apart to find out.
@@BeardedApplianceRepair I did. I fixed it. That little clear hose, that measures the water pressure or level, had come loose. I put it bad on and now it works. Thanks for the replies and help sir. Greatly appreciated
Could be yes. Make sure you have good water pressure at the wall. Usually it is either the hot or cold that is not working. I reckon it could happen but if both hot and cold don't work it may be as simple as turning the water on.
Flawless instructions! Thank you sir, you saved a disabled veteran a couple hundred on this repair. 🙏🏾

The problem is not with filling the washer. The problem is that it fills and empties then repeats in a continuous cycle and then pauses with an 8B error code.
Mine keeps filling up then agitating than adding more water and it repeats until it overflows.

Great video...Everything went exactly as you said and the water turns off with the test, however no hot water comes out at all now ...suggestions?
Make sure you have good hot water pressure. If you do than I would think you have a bad water valve.
Where did you order part?
I tried pressing both spin and soil, then the power button. (All together)
Mine will not go into that test mode. I did some more research and went to 17h delay (start for 10 seconds) then it went to a whole test mode. No leaks no issues.

Need new valves on the wall then. You will have to shut the water off to your whole home to get it to stop.
Turn The feed water valve ALL THE WAY OPEN, that should "back seat" the valve to get it to stop leaking!
Error code 8b
Mines keep repeating rinse and spin these samsungs are a piece of junk
