DC62-30312J (Cold) & DC62-30314K (Hot) Washer Water Inlet Valve Set

Key Features

• Dual-Valve System: This set includes both the Cold Water Inlet Valve (DC62-30312J), which features multiple outlets for the detergent dispenser, and the Hot Water Inlet Valve (DC62-30314K).
• High-Pressure Solenoids: Features heavy-duty electromagnetic coils designed to open and close the valve seats reliably under various residential water pressures.
• Integrated Debris Screens: Equipped with internal mesh filters at the hose connections to protect the machine from pipe scale, sediment, and sand.
• Direct-Fit Connectors: Designed with the specific Samsung-style plug housings for a secure electrical connection to the main control board.

Compatibility & Fitment

This valve set is primarily designed for Samsung and Kenmore washing machines. Key compatible series include:

• Samsung Front-Loaders: WF210, WF330, WF350, WF410, WF42H, and WF45H series.
• Samsung Top-Loaders: WA400, WA456, WA45H, and WA50F series.
• Kenmore / Sears: Various 592-series models (e.g., 592.49075, 592.49107) manufactured by Samsung.

When to Replace

• No Water Flow: The machine displays an "4E" or "nF" error code (No Fill), and water does not enter the tub despite the faucets being open.
• Slow Filling: Mineral buildup in the internal screens or a partially failing solenoid restricts water flow, causing "Long Fill" errors.
• Constant Leaking: Water trickles into the drum while the machine is off, indicating the internal valve seat is not sealing properly.
• Incorrect Temperatures: The washer only fills with hot or cold water regardless of the cycle setting, suggesting one of the solenoids has burnt out.

Installation Tips

• Safety First: Disconnect the power cord and turn off the water supply valves. Keep a bucket and towel nearby to catch residual water in the hoses.
• Terminal Mapping: The cold valve often has multiple solenoids for different dispenser compartments. Label the wires before removing them to ensure bleach, softener, and wash cycles function correctly after the repair.
• Avoid Overtightening: Screw the supply hoses onto the plastic threads by hand until snug, then use pliers to tighten an additional 1/4 turn. Overtightening can crack the valve housing.
• Flush the Hoses: Before connecting to the new valves, run the water hoses into a bucket for a few seconds to clear out any sediment that could immediately clog the new filters.
