Hi, I'm Amy from eSpares.
In this video, I'll be showing you
how to replace the water inlet valve
in a Samsung EcoBubble washing machine.
If you find that your washing machine isn't filling with water when you run a cycle
it's likely to be due to a faulty water inlet valve.
So in this video, I'll show you how to replace it.
For this repair, you're going to need a Phillips screwdriver.
A pair of pliers and a towel to soak up any spillages.
Now before we begin it's important to make sure
that your washing machine is switched off
and unplugged from the mains before carrying out any work.
For this repair you're also going to need
to switch off the water supply to your washing machine
and disconnect the water inlet pipe from your appliance.
Having turned your washing machine around
we'll now need to remove the top panel
and we can do that by removing the two screws at the back here.
We can now slide off the top panel
and set it safely to one side.
During this process, you will be removing quite a lot of screws
so it's a good idea to keep them all separate with their relevant parts
as this should help you remember where they will go
when you put it back together again.
With the top off now as you can see
the water inlet valve is located here
and it's secured into place
with these two screws.
So next we're going to need to remove these.
Once the screws are removed
we can disconnect the two electrical connections.
We recommend taking a photo of these connections
before removing them
so you know where to connect them onto the new inlet valve later on.
So you can now
pull the valve through the back of the machine
and then disconnect the two jubilee clips here.
But we recommend placing a towel beneath the valve
to soak up any spillages.
You might need to use pliers to remove these jubilee clips.
Then once the clips are out the way
pull the hose off
and free the valve.
Now it's time to fit your new water inlet valve
and to do this you're going to need your model number
to make sure that you buy the correct replacement for your make and model.
If you're unsure of your appliance's model number
take a look at our video up here
on how to find the model number on your washing machine.
We'll also link down below in the description
where you can get your hands on a new water inlet valve from our website.
Depending on your model
your new water inlet valve
may or may not come with a bracket that secures it into place.
So if yours hasn't come with one
you'll need to remove the bracket off your old valve
and replace it onto the new one.
But as you can see our one comes with the bracket on
so we can begin by fitting the left pipe
onto the left side of the water inlet valve
and the right pipe onto the right side.
Then you can secure the pipes into place using your pliers
by placing the jubilee clips
over the pipes where they meet the new valve.
Next, you can push the front part of the valve
through the back of the machine
and reconnect the electrical connections.
This is where you can refer back to your photo, if you took one earlier.
Next, we can screw the valve back into the rear panel
using the screws we removed earlier.
There you have it
how to replace the water inlet valve
on your Samsung EcoBubble washing machine.
Now that your washing machine is back up and working properly
