DA97-08587A - Samsung Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve

The Samsung Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve (DA97-08587A) is a genuine part manufactured by Samsung. It is compatible with various Samsung refrigerator models. This part is sometimes referred to as the water control valve or water supply valve.

The water inlet valve is a critical component of your refrigerator, controlling the water supply to the ice maker and water dispenser. It operates as an electromechanical device, regulating water flow from the main supply to these specific parts. When you initiate the ice-making or water-dispensing process, an electrical signal is sent to the water inlet valve. This signal activates a solenoid within the valve, opening a pathway for water to flow into the designated compartment. Once the desired amount of water has been dispensed or the ice tray is filled, the valve closes under the control of the electrical circuit.

If your refrigerator is experiencing issues such as no ice production, water leakage, or an overabundance of ice, it may indicate a malfunctioning water inlet valve. Regular maintenance and cleaning can help prevent clogs and maintain the valve's functionality, but if symptoms persist, replacement might be necessary.

Before purchasing, please verify the model number of your Samsung refrigerator to ensure compatibility with the DA97-08587A water inlet valve.
