Tis not hard. A phillips & flat blade screwdriver and some pliers.
It's a big job. You have to pull the dishwasher all the way out. On most Samsung DW's, you then need to remove the metal panel on the left side of the DW to be able to get to the case-brake assembly. Remove the water inlet port on the inside of the dishwahser by turning it counter-clockwise ( a tool will be required). Pull the case-break assembly out so you can get to the clamp that holds the drain hose in place. Pull the clamp down and remove the hose. Have a towel or Sham-Wow ready to catch all the water. You will have to disengage the hose clamp at the back of the dishwasher, then you can pull the hose out. Reverse the process to install the new hose. As I said, it's a big job; if it sounds like more than you want to do, I recommend calling a professional repairman. Sears has technicians who are experienced with Samsung dishwashers.
Unplug dishwasher. Remove panel on left-hand side (by removing 2 screws). Remove the water inlet valve baffle on the inside of the dishwasher by turning it counter-clockwise (use long-nose pliers). Tilt case-brake assembly out from the top. Unplug electrical connectors. Use pliers to loosen clamps and slide down the rubber hoses. Remove hoses, then remove case-break assembly.
It's a fairly big job. You have to pull the dishwasher out from under the cabinet. Then remove the left-hand metal panel. You should now be looking at the case-brake assembly. Reach inside the dishwahsher and turn the water-inlet bezel counter-clockwise to remove it. Now you can tilt out the case-brake assembly and loosen the clamp that holds the drain hose in place. Pull the hose off (have a towel or Sham-Wow ready to catch the water). Then you have to remove the clamp or hose-restraint at the back of the dishwasher. Thaen you can pull the drain hose out and replace it.

The water inlet valve has stopped working. It is an electric magnet valve. located in the bottom of the machine, remove the side panel where the water hose comes in and follow the hose to the valve. Shut off the water supply and remove the valve, note how the wires are connected. Buy a new valve and replace. No special tools are required. A Phillips scewdriver a straight screw driver and a pair of pliers are a that is required.
Hi
Thanks for using FixYa. If you
have nuisance water leaks around the base of your dishwasher, you may be using
a detergent that is causing too much suds. Cut back on the amount of detergent
you use, and see if that makes a difference. Water that spills through the door
vent is usually caused by improperly loading dishes. Leaks from the door itself
may be caused by a faulty door gasket or door tightness adjustment. you should
check the main tub seal, the door latch, the door gasket, the water-inlet valve,
and the fill and drain hoses.
Also make sure the dishwasher is sitting level (you can adjust the front feet
up or down, and many units have some type of levelers at the rear).
Water under the dishwasher may be originating from a leaky hose or loose hose
connection. Remove the lower front panel, and check the hoses.
An older dishwasher may corrode at the bottom, but this is fairly uncommon. If
this is the case with your dishwasher, it's time for a new one.
Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or
else revert for further assistance.
If your dishwasher leaks, check these: Main tub seal
Note… If the main motor of your dishwasher is mounted vertically, beneath the center bottom of the dishwasher, the following instructions probably apply to you. But if your motor is mounted horizontally, the pump isn't serviceable--you need to replace the entire pump and motor assembly.
The main tub seal is beneath the drain impeller. It prevents the water in the dishwasher from leaking out near the shaft of the motor. To get to the seal, which is inside the dishwasher, remove the:
Lower rack
Spray arm
Spray arm support
Wash/drain impellers
Then pry the seal out of its housing and replace it.
Door gasket or seal
Over time, door gaskets and seals harden and lose their ability to seal properly. You can't repair the seals. You need to replace them if they've begun to leak.
Water-inlet valve
The water-inlet valve, itself, seldom leaks. But, the water-supply line from the house and the rubber tube leading from the valve to the inside of the dishwasher may leak. Tighten or repair/replace these as necessary.
The water-inlet valve could mechanically stick open. When that happens, the water continues to flow into the dishwasher, which then floods your kitchen. Turn off the water supply to the dishwasher, and replace the valve.
Hoses
Behind the lower access panel on your dishwasher are several rubber or plastic hoses. If the leak appears at a connection, try a new clamp. If that doesn't work, replace the hose.
