Most common repairs needed to fix a Samsung washer
Water Valve Replacement
The water valve assembly controls water flow into the washer. A clogged water valve inlet screen will prevent the wash tub from filling with hot water, cold water, or both. Electrical failures in the valve may also prevent the valve from opening to allow water into the tub. The valve connects your home's water supply to the washer. A faulty valve may begin leaking into the tub or around the connections to the water supply hoses. If you suspect a faulty water valve assembly, have a Sears Home Services professional inspect the washer and replace the valve if needed.
PCB Replacement
A printed circuit board (PCB) can lead to various failures in a washer. The PCB controls various components of the washer such as the water valve, drive motor, drain pump, and cycles. If the PCB malfunctions, the washer may not fill, power up or display the cycle status. Additionally, it might fail agitate, spin, or drain. In some cases, a shorted board may emit a burning smell. Diagnosing a bad PCB can be very difficult. If you suspect your PCB has failed, schedule service with a Sears Home Services technician to diagnose and repair your washer.
Water-Level Pressure Switch Hose Replacement
A clogged water-level pressure switch hose could be the reason your washer won't fill. The pressure switch monitors the water level inside the washer and signals the machine to stop filling when the desired level is reached. If the hose connecting to this switch becomes clogged with debris or residue, it can create a false signal, making the pressure switch think the washer is already full. As a result, the washer will not fill with water as it should. You might notice the machine starting a wash cycle without any water or shutting off prematurely. To address this issue, check the hose for blockages and clean it thoroughly. If the problem continues, schedule an in-home repair appointment through Sears Home Services to have a technician inspect and clear the hose to ensure your washer fills properly.

Sears Home Services recommendations for a washer top loader not filling with water problem
When a washer won't fill with water, it can be for many reasons. To avoid replacing unneeded parts, we recommend scheduling Samsung repair near you with a local Sears Home Services professional who can perform diagnostic tests to identify the root cause of the problem. Our technicians are experienced at diagnosing all types of washer failures.
What to look out for with a washer top loader not filling with water diagnosis
Diagnosing modern appliances without proper knowledge and training can be difficult. Without using proper diagnostic techniques, fixing your washer problem will only be achieved through changing parts on a hunch. Appliances, especially in the last 10 years, have become extremely advanced, and many models have electronic parts that are difficult to test. DIY repairs on the latest appliance models are becoming increasingly difficult.
A top-load Samsung that never fills indicates an inlet valve or sensor issue blocking water. Clothes won’t get the soak they need for proper cleaning. Rather than half-baked loads, try local washing machine repair. Adequate water levels help your Samsung wash effectively.
