What to the three ports on the water inlet valve do?

I’m guessing that one is to fill via the powder, the other to fill via the fabric conditioner, what is the third? Is it to swill out the lint from the ducting after the dryer heater and if so when does this happen?

Thanks Dave my logic holds!

I was having a HE2 fault on my Samsung WD0804W8E. The thermostats kept popping, one failed and had to be replaced and the the other then kept having to be reset. The root cause was the inlet valve (solenoid) for condensing as you say had failed and the outlet ducting was full of lint, blocking airflow and obviously not condensing, hence the thermostat trips. Solved 🙂
