Samsung Fridge: Need solenoid part number

13 years ago

Hello I'm new to this website and hopefully someone could help me. Here's a little info of my fridge:

Brand: Samsung

Model: RS267LASH

Bom Name: RS267LASH/XAA

Quick Summary:

Looking for part # and where I could purchase the solenoid attached to the water inlet valve (part#DA74-40149D to the water inlet valve)

What I'm looking for is the part number and where I can purchase a solenoid which is attached to the water inlet valve.

Here is the sources I have tried with no success.

-Owners manual

-Official Samsung website parts/accessories and also have tried their Live chat

-Called the number provided by Samsung representative and they were unable to provide any details and insisted to send a technician out to my house with a charge which I declined.

-Tried entering manufactures part number that the solenoid is attached to with no luck.

-Looked at a blue print of my fridge on a website but the solenoid wasn't present.

I have basically looked all over the internet for 8 hours and no luck. The solenoid has a 3 pin molex connection if I'm correct with the type of connection and has wheel paddle within. This solenoid is attached to the water inlet valve part# DA74-40149D. I do have pictures of what exactly I'm looking for and if you would like a few pictures of the solenoid message me and I will be more than happy to send them.

If you need more information about the fridge or anything else please contact me. Thank you very much for your help.

d8mian, I have no idea about this part, unfortunately.

I'm wondering, though, if you buy the blue thing in your photo (that the part you want is attached to), does the solenoid maybe come with it?

That would explain why you can't buy just the solenoid separately. Otherwise, this makes no sense to me.

The part you photographed does not seem to match the parts fiche. Something is jacked up, here. What might be happening is a design change. The photo you provide does not give me enough information to be sure. But if you step back, is this the main water inlet solenoid/valve assy for the fridge? If so, the part specced for that now is on this page. It looks pretty standard, the solenoids are integrated with the valve body, with one inlet, for the fresh water connection, a 1/4" compression fitting, and TWO outlets, likely for the fountain dispenser and icemaker.

Where is this part you are trying to repair located? in the back of the fridge right where the water connection goes? If so, find the two lines running out of your existing setup. Can they be moved to the new style, if this is indeed a design change? That is the sort of question I would have.

Thank you guys for your help I really appreciated.

Well to be honest I'm not really a appliance guru, all the information I have is the result of researching the net for 8 hours lol, so forgive me if I may sound like I don't know what I'm doing. Well that being said I will add more pictures to give you guys a different view hopefully that helps.

@Chac_Mool: I placed an order for the water inlet valve which Mojavean also suggested. I had the same thought, if I order that water valve that it comes with the solenoid. Once my order comes in I will see if it comes with it. Thank you for your help. =)

@Mojavean: I think you're correct, I've had this fridge for about 5 years so the possibility is very high that the design has changed. Yes, the part I'm trying to repair is located in the back at the bottom of the fridge where the water connection goes. The solenoid was connected to the 1/4" inlet marked as ice.

"Can they be moved to the new style, if this is indeed a design change?" - Only thing is I am willing to try a new solenoid design but I wouldn't know which solenoid will work with the water inlet valve since the solenoid had a 3pin molex connection if that's what you call it. You can see this 3pin wire in the picture I have linked below.

The link to the picture also shows the words that are molded on to the solenoid and also a picture when it's unscrewed off the water inlet valve. Hope it helps.

Let me know if I haven't answered any questions, as I tried to answer each one the best I could. Keep in mind this is my first time repairing a fridge and this repair may not seem difficult I rather get all the help I can before I do anything I shouldn't do. Thank you guys for all the help.
