Quick answer: A Samsung washing machine pressure switch (water level switch) tells the board how much water is in the tub. The first sign of failure is usually this: the machine hums or clicks at the start but no water arrives, or a fill error shows. Replacement pressure switches for Samsung washing machines run about $20–40; a valve is a modest part and a thirty-minute job. Match the full model number on your Samsung sticker (30006S, A11F5S5QWATC, DC-96-01703C, DC32 and more) against the listing title before you order.

What the pressure switch does on a Samsung washing machine
The pressure switch tells the board how much water is in the tub. On Samsung washing machines sold in Australia the same part is shared across model families, which is why one listing covers several model numbers, and why two pressure switches that look alike are not interchangeable: the mounting, the plug and the signal differ between families. The full model number on your sticker settles it.
Turn off both taps and pull the plug first. A valve change is low-voltage work behind a panel; if wiring looks burnt, stop and call a repairer.
Symptoms of a failed Samsung pressure switch
| What you see | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| The machine hums or clicks at the start but no water arrives, or a fill error shows | A solenoid has failed open-circuit, or the inlet filter is blocked |
| Water keeps trickling in with the machine off | The valve is not closing fully; grit on the seat |
| The detergent drawer fills on one side only, or soap is left behind | One coil of a twin or triple valve is dead |
| A drip or spray at the back of the machine behind the hoses | The valve body or a hose seat has cracked |
Is it really the pressure switch?
Check the free things first. Both taps fully open, the inlet hoses not kinked behind the machine, and the small mesh filters at the tap end of each hose rinsed clean. Low pressure from a half-open tap gives the same fill error as a dead valve. If water arrives but the machine still complains, it is more likely the pressure switch or the board than the valve.
Where is the model sticker on a Samsung washing machine
Inside the door rim with the door open, or behind the detergent drawer. A duplicate sticker sits on the back panel. Write the full code down, letters and numbers, or photograph it: the suffix matters, and the badge on the front of the machine is not enough. Our Samsung model number guide has photos of each spot.
Which Samsung pressure switch is listed for your model
One row per model number as it appears on the sticker. The part column is the listing title, which names every model that listing covers.

Replacing the pressure switch: the job in order
- Turn off both taps, pull the plug and unscrew the inlet hoses at the back; have a towel ready.
- Remove the top panel (usually two or three screws at the back) and find the valve where the hoses enter.
- Photograph every plug and hose on the valve. Note which internal hose goes to which outlet.
- Release the hose clips and plugs, undo the one or two screws that hold the valve to the cabinet, and lift it out.
- Install the new valve, reinstall the internal hoses to the same outlets, plug in, and screw it down.
- Reconnect the inlet hoses, open the taps and check for drips before you reinstall the top panel. Run a short cycle and watch the fill.
DIY or a repairer?
For most people this is a DIY job: a valve is a modest part and a thirty-minute job. A repairer’s call-out in Australia is in the $100–165 band before the part, so the saving is the labour. Use a licensed repairer if the appliance is hard-wired, if you find burnt or melted wiring, if gas or sealed refrigerant is involved, or if the new part does not cure the fault, because the next suspect is usually the control board and that is fitted after diagnosis, not before.
Frequently asked questions
The machine will not fill but I can hear it trying. Is it definitely the valve?
Not yet. Turn the tap off, unscrew that hose at the machine end, point it into a bucket and open the tap: if the flow is weak, clean the hose filter or the tap is the problem. If the flow is strong, the hose goes back on and the valve is the next suspect. A valve that hums but passes no water has a blocked seat or a dead coil.
Is the valve the same across the range?
No. The number of outlets, the coil voltage, the hose sizes and the mounting differ. Match the full model number on your sticker against the listing title.
Do I need to turn the water off at the mains?
No, only at the two taps behind the machine. If a tap will not close, that is a plumber's job before anything else.
Why do valves fail?
Grit and scale on the seat stop them closing, and coils burn out with age. Rinse the hose filters once a year and most valves last the life of the machine.
Can I keep using the machine with one dead coil?
You can, but the detergent or softener will not be flushed through on that side. Install the valve.
