XPARTCO DC97-15459G Washer Water Valve
The XPARTCO DC97-15459G is an aftermarket replacement water inlet valve assembly compatible with a wide range of Samsung top-load washers. This valve mounts at the rear of the washer and controls the flow of water into the drum, opening electronically when the control board calls for a fill and closing once the target water level is reached. It connects via five terminal connections to the wiring harness and to the hot/cold supply hoses.
When this valve fails, the washer commonly won't fill with water, fills very slowly, overfills, or continues to trickle water even when powered off — the last of which points to a valve that isn't sealing properly rather than an electrical fault. It directly replaces DC97-15459G, 3276197, AP5623056, ASM1220342, EAP4220861, PD00007887, PS4220861. Sold individually; does not include wire harness or mounting screws. Installs in 15–20 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer trickles water into the drum even when it's unplugged — is this the part?
Yes, this is a classic symptom of a water inlet valve that isn't sealing properly. Since the valve is the only thing standing between your home's pressurized water supply and the drum, a valve that won't fully close will let water trickle through even with zero power to the washer. This is different from an electrical fill problem, which typically shows up as the washer not filling at all rather than filling when it shouldn't.
Does this include the wire harness and mounting screws?
No — this valve is sold individually. You'll reuse your existing wire harness connector and mounting screws from the old valve during installation.
Will this fit my Kenmore washer?
This valve fits select Kenmore washers that were built by Samsung and share this platform's water valve design. Confirm your appliance model number before ordering, since not all Kenmore washers use this valve.
Do I need to shut off the water supply to replace this?
Yes — always shut off both the hot and cold water supply valves before disconnecting the hoses from the old valve. Skipping this step will result in water spraying from the open supply lines once the hoses are disconnected.
