Samsung DA97-13268A Refrigerator Water Valve-Hose Assembly

The Samsung DA97-13268A Refrigerator Water Valve-Hose Assembly regulates water flow to compatible refrigerator systems for reliable dispensing and ice production. This replacement assembly combines the water inlet valve and connected hose, directing water from the household supply to the ice maker and water dispenser as required. It operates by opening and closing the valve in response to electrical signals from the refrigerator’s control system, allowing water to flow only during dispensing or ice-making cycles. Installed at the rear of the refrigerator where the water supply enters the unit, it supports proper water distribution, helps reduce the risk of leaks caused by worn components, and assists in maintaining consistent appliance operation.
