Problem
Samsung dishwasher displayed "water leak" code. The source of the leak turned out to be the inlet water valve.
Tools
Screwdrivers.
Repair & Advice
Once I determined the inlet valve was the source of the leak, it was easy to order a replacement valve. Unfortunately, inlet valves are not interchangeable as some other parts may be, so the appliance parts warehouse nearby that I have used before did not have this particular one in stock. Ordering it was easy and delivery was quick. Make sure to determine if you will need a replacement hose clamp before you start. If I had thought about it beforehand, I would have gotten a spring clamp or screw clamp to replace the existing one because it would have been much easier to put back. The hardest part was reattaching the power wires.

Problem
The water valve was faulty on our dishwasher. It seems like no matter how you invest in today's products, they just don't last. No warranty on a brand new unit.
Tools
Had someone install.
Repair & Advice
Make sure that you have the right tools to install.

Wrench, pliers, screwdriver.
Repair & Advice
I was able to prop the dishwasher up on 2 buckets, drop the leak pan and run a cycle..from there I was able to detect a faulty inlet valve. A few days later the part arrived (quite quickly) and we were back in business.
