DC97-14976A Samsung Washer Drain Pump Filter – Fix Your Washer That Won’t Drain, Shows 5E Error, or Has Slow Drainage
The DC97-14976A is the genuine OEM drain pump filter for Samsung front-load washers. The drain pump filter catches lint, debris, coins, and foreign objects before they reach the drain pump, protecting the pump from damage and ensuring efficient drainage. When the filter becomes clogged or damaged, the washer may display a 5E or 5C error code, drain slowly, or fail to drain entirely. Regular cleaning every 1–2 months prevents most drainage issues.

✓ Installation Tips
Safety first: Run a spin/drain cycle first to remove as much water as possible. Unplug the washer before servicing.
Prepare for water: Place a shallow pan and towels under the filter access panel — residual water will drain out when the cap is removed.
Locate the filter: The drain pump filter is behind the small access panel at the bottom front of the washer.
Remove old filter: Turn the cap counterclockwise slowly to drain water, then fully remove and pull out the filter.
Clean the housing: Remove any debris from the filter housing before installing the new filter.
Install new filter: Insert the DC97-14976A and hand-tighten the cap clockwise until snug. Do not overtighten.
Test: Run a short cycle and check for leaks and proper drainage.

✓ Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 5E or 5C error code mean on my Samsung washer?
The 5E (or 5C) error code indicates a drainage failure. The most common cause is a clogged drain pump filter. Remove and clean the DC97-14976A filter first. If the filter is damaged or the error persists after cleaning, replace the filter. Contact us if you need help diagnosing.
How often should I clean the drain pump filter?
Samsung recommends cleaning the drain pump filter every 1–2 months under normal use, or more frequently if you wash pet bedding, heavily soiled items, or items with loose debris. Regular cleaning prevents 5E errors and protects the drain pump motor.
Can I use a used drain pump filter?
Yes — a tested used DC97-14976A filter is a cost-effective option for older washers or budget repairs. All used parts sold by XPart Supply are inspected before sale. If your washer is newer or you want guaranteed long-term performance, the new OEM filter is recommended.
Does XPart Supply ship washer parts across Canada?
Yes. XPart Supply ships genuine Samsung OEM washer parts Canada-wide with fast, reliable shipping. Contact us if you need help confirming compatibility with your specific washer model.
