This saved me a fortune. Thanks. Most engineers wouldn't touch my dishwasher because it was Samsung and the "Samsung specialist" stated it was too old to get new parts and it would be £80 just to look at it with all work charged on top of that. So I got the exact part you showed for £15.99 here in the UK and it took me an hour to fit... dishwasher is now working just fine. Note - my dishwasher had a LOT less space to work with (components were VERY tightly crammed in compared to the video version) which made it much more awkward, but was still possible. For example, I had to remove the waste hose from the internal fitting in order to have any access to swap out the pump's power clip. But it was still well worth the savings. Appreciated.

Wow Kevin, I'm so glad that you told that story... I thought I might be the only one having this problem and crazy enough to fix it... That's great you found the part for a good price - and replaced it yourself, well done. Thanks mate, Kent

Thanks for helping me fix my dishwasher. It turns out they work exactly the same on the other side of the Earth. I watched some other videos and while they were quite informative and encouraged me to take my dishwasher apart and check some things here and there, yours was the one that pointed the actual problem my dishwasher had.

Your video just pointed me in the right direction to get my 6 month old Samsung dishwasher working again after being stood in the garage for the last 3 years. No water coming through so after watching your video, I tapped the inlet valve with a hammer and hey presto, now working like new again.

Hi! We've got a brand new Samsung Dishwasher, literally used it a maximum of three times and we have error code 4C (same as 4E) and have checked the basics in your video. I'm shocked the inlet valve can stop working after such a short time :( just before Christmas as well! Probably won't buy another Samsung product again.

@@InspireDIY It worked perfectly well I had to unscrew a screw in the front part in the left side at the bottom. Then I could open the whole plate that is on the left side, then I had to take out the pipe with the cable for the sensor, and there is a cap that I had to take out and put it on the new pipe. Then the procedure was to put the pipe inside the dish washer and with a plier to hold it again on the same place. Now there is no water licking. What I do not understand is why the pipe was licking water, I believe somehow I pushed it in the past and maybe I harmed it, but who knows, maybe is the time because the washing machine is about 7 years old.

I just did step No.4. Now my dishwasher works. Thanks for your help New subscriber too👍🏾

Question please...NFM installed a new Samsung. The waste hose is about 1" thick and goes from left side of dishwasher to hole in sink cabinet on right. So the dishwasher doesn't fit and rubber moldings look horrible...not to mention the silver clip sticks out where it's screwed into the cabinet. I guess my question is...can the waste hose be adjusted?

Hey D Schmul, Im not completely sure how to get around the dishwasher 'not fitting' thing, is the space too small - or hoses/fitting getting in the way of it being seated back far enough? Yes, you can easily purchase and fit a longer dishwasher hose if required (not expensive and i've done that too), Universal Dishwasher extension hose; amzn.to/3deLsbT Feel free to elaborate and i'll do my best to answer your question, thanks mate, Kent

Hi Kent, our Siemens dishwasher stops and shows E04 near the end of the washing cycle in any program, except rinsing. I would say right before it would start drying. Before water enters the machine just fine. Do you still reckon it's likely the inlet valve? Also days before we had E15 which went away after I drained the liquid that had accumulated in the bottom of the dishwasher and that had made the little styrofoam disc float. So far I have read about a faulty water flow sensor, but that doesn't make sense to me since the machine goes nearly through the entire cleaning cycle except drying. Thanks

Hey KKFox, Yeah, most modern dishwashers heat up the water themselves rather than rely on a hot water supply, so unfortunately it looks like your element or heating circuit/fuses are the cause.
