Review on 💧 Beaquicy DD62-00084A OEM Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve - Replacement for Samsung AP5178218 PS4222448 2692215 by Tim Duncan

So I was getting overfill warning lights and the machine wouldn't complete the cycle. Keeping my hand on the water supply line after starting the cycle meant the fill valve would not close after the solenoid clicked to shut off the water (could feel the water still flowing even though it shouldn't have been) . . Revain's price was 1/3 of my local parts so I got this one down the road asap. To keep my wife from spending all our money on takeout until this was fixed, I was able to run full cycles by hanging next to the dishwasher while the dishwasher was running and manually closing the under sink shut off by hearing the click of the heard magnets. In my case, when the pressure was released in this way, the solenoid valve actually closed completely, allowing me to reopen the shut-off under the sink ready for the next water call. On my model, the quick wash cycle uses water four times: a first rinse, a wash, and two rinses. Like a pilot flying a badly damaged Boeing 747 with a cold, steady hand on the throttle to maintain control of my ailing ship full of precious lives, I sat on the ground manually closing and opening the shutoff valve at critical moments around them Getting saucers clean without washing them in the sink like a caveman. Use this time to watch instructional videos on how to change the valve. The item has arrived. Since you can see and feel both sides of the valve by pulling the dishwasher out of the rack about a foot, you would think this would be a 10 minute job. See my photo with the green arrow. Haha no! Samsung engineers thought it would be too simple and uninteresting. You'll need an extra 1/4" of clearance to pull the valve out even when nothing is attached to it. So get out a wet/dry vacuum, some cardboard so you don't scratch the floor, and bring a tool kit because you'll be literally turning everything off and completely removing the device, just like the day you bought it have brought home. Then lay it on its back where the remaining water can drain. You will see in the instructional video that you will need to remove a few panels and the control board housing to eventually get the space needed to swap out the valves (see my photo with the green circle where the valve is located). Then the whole process is reversed to put Humpty Dumpty back together. Just over an hour to do this and while it was tedious it's still better than paying a technician to do it. The valve itself was a snug fit and none of my problems were the fault of this valve. I am very happy with the end result as everything is back to normal and everyone is happy.
