Water Inlet Pipe Assembly
Replacement fridge freezer water inlet pipe assembly – compatible with Samsung models as shown unless advised otherwise
Description
A genuine Samsung replacement water inlet pipe assembly that restores water supply to the ice maker and water dispenser on compatible fridge freezer models.
This heated water line supplies the ice maker and water dispenser, and a common failure symptom is the line freezing and blocking the ice maker. As an original Samsung component, it matches the pipe fitted at the factory in length, diameter, and connector type. The integrated heater element keeps the line from freezing in the freezer compartment, ensuring a steady flow of water to the ice maker and dispenser.
Made from durable, food-safe materials, it is designed to withstand temperature fluctuations and everyday water pressure without splitting or leaking.
This water inlet pipe will only fit the models shown or as specifically advised and will not fit any others, as even if it looks the same, it probably won't be, since several look alike but aren't. Please take time to ensure this is correct before ordering. If you are unsure, please don't hesitate to contact us and ask for assistance. Note that it fits over 500 different appliances, so the list below is a large cross-section of confirmed models but may not be exhaustive.
Water inlet pipe assemblies commonly fail due to internal blockages from frozen water, mineral buildup from hard water, or physical damage to the pipe or heater element. A blocked or frozen line prevents water from reaching the ice maker or dispenser, resulting in no ice production, slow water dispensing, or intermittent operation. In some cases, a leak from a damaged pipe can cause water to pool inside the appliance or on the floor. Replacing the pipe assembly restores water flow and ensures the ice maker and dispenser operate correctly. This genuine replacement matches the original part's specifications and performance.
Technical Notes
Specifications: Genuine Samsung fridge freezer water inlet pipe assembly (heated water line). Part type: heated fill tube for ice maker and water dispenser. Product code: DA9705070E.
Safety note: This component carries water and includes an electrical heater element. Always disconnect the appliance from the mains supply and turn off the water inlet before beginning any work. Allow the appliance to reach room temperature before fitting the new pipe, as cold plastic is more brittle. Wear gloves when handling the old pipe, as edges may be sharp and the pipe may contain residual water. Do not use the appliance if you smell gas or burning at any point during or after the repair.
Fitment guidance: This water inlet pipe fits only the Samsung fridge freezer models listed in the compatibility matrix below. Note that it fits over 500 different appliances, so the list below is a large cross-section of confirmed models but may is not exhaustive. Model numbers can be found on the rating plate inside the refrigerator compartment or on the rear of the appliance.

Common Faults & SymptomsThe following fault codes and symptoms are commonly reported when this part begins to fail. Use this as a diagnostic guide before ordering a replacement — if more than one of these is present, the part is the likely culprit. 1
Error Code 4E (Samsung) — Water Supply Issue
Samsung fridges display 4E when the appliance cannot get water. Causes include a frozen or kinked water line, a clogged water filter, or a faulty inlet valve. Ice and water may stop dispensing until the issue is resolved. Check the water line at the back for kinks or ice and replace the water filter if it is old or blocked before assuming the pipe assembly has failed. If the line is not frozen or kinked but the code persists, the water inlet pipe heater may have failed, allowing the line to freeze internally.
2
Error Code 5E (Samsung) — Ice Maker Fill Error
Signals that the ice maker is not filling properly. This is usually caused by frozen lines, a blocked filter, or a malfunctioning water inlet valve. Defrost the ice maker lines if frozen and clean or replace the water filter. If the line continues to freeze despite the filter being clean, the heater element in the water inlet pipe assembly may have failed, allowing ice to build up inside the line and block the flow of water to the ice maker.
3
Error Code 8E (Samsung) — Ice Maker Water Flow Error
This error code points to a problem with the ice maker's water flow, specifically the water valve or the water supply line. Causes include a kinked water line, a clogged water filter, a faulty water inlet valve, or low water pressure. A frozen water inlet pipe that has lost its heating capability is a common cause of this code, as the water cannot pass through the frozen line to reach the ice maker.
4
Water Line Frozen and Blocking the Ice Maker
The most direct symptom of a failed water inlet pipe assembly. The heated water line supplies the ice maker and water dispenser, and one common symptom of failure is the water line freezing and blocking the ice maker. When the heater element fails, the water inside the line freezes, preventing water from reaching the ice maker. The ice maker may stop producing ice entirely, or may produce ice intermittently. In some cases, the fill tube may leak water that gradually freezes and eventually blocks the tube completely.
5
No Ice Production or Ice Maker Not Working
The ice maker does not produce ice at all, or produces ice only intermittently. The ice maker may cycle but no ice is produced, or the cycle does not start at all. This is often caused by a frozen or blocked water line that prevents water from reaching the ice tray. Check that the water supply is turned on and that the ice maker is switched on before concluding the pipe assembly has failed. If the line is frozen and the heater is not working, the pipe assembly should be replaced.
6
Water Dispenser Not Working or Slow
The water dispenser fails to dispense water, or dispenses water very slowly. This can be caused by a frozen water line, a clogged water filter, a kinked supply line, or a faulty water inlet valve. If the dispenser works intermittently or stops working after the freezer has been running for a while, the water line may be freezing inside the pipe. A failed heater element in the water inlet pipe assembly is a common cause of this symptom.
7
Ice Cubes Misshapen, Clumped or Too Large
Ice cubes come out irregular in size, fused together, or larger than normal. This is often a sign that the water inlet pipe is partially blocked or frozen, causing the ice maker to receive inconsistent amounts of water. The ice maker may release the ice before it has fully formed or leave it in the mould for too long. Check the sensor probe for ice buildup or damage before assuming a more serious fault.
8
Water Leaking From the Pipe or Connections
Water pools inside the appliance or on the floor beneath the fridge freezer. This is usually caused by a cracked pipe, a damaged connector, or a loose fitting where the pipe joins the water inlet valve or the ice maker. Inspect the full length of the pipe and both connection points in good light for signs of damage or moisture. A pipe that has become brittle and cracked over time is more prone to leaking and should be replaced before it bursts under pressure.
9
Ice Maker Freezing Up or Frost Buildup Around the Fill Tube
Excessive frost or ice accumulates around the ice maker fill tube and the water inlet pipe. This can be caused by a heater element that is no longer working, allowing the water inside the line to freeze and expand. The ice may also block the fill tube, preventing water from reaching the ice tray. Defrost the ice maker fully and inspect the pipe and its heater for signs of damage before ordering a replacement.
10
Visible Damage or Discolouration on the Pipe or Heater
Inspect the water inlet pipe for signs of physical damage, cracking, or discolouration. Look for kinks in the pipe, cracks in the plastic, or any signs of overheating or burning on the heater element or its wiring. A pipe that has been exposed to repeated freezing and thawing may become brittle and crack. Any of these signs indicate that the pipe assembly should be replaced.
Fitment GuidanceThis water inlet pipe is compatible only with the Samsung fridge freezer models listed in the compatibility matrix above. Even if a pipe looks visually similar, the length, diameter, connector type and heater configuration can differ between models, so a part that appears to fit may not operate correctly or may not connect properly to the ice maker and dispenser.
Diagnostic TipsBefore concluding that the water inlet pipe has failed, carry out these checks to rule out other causes. A multimeter is required for the electrical tests.
