Washing Machine Hoses
- Homeowners may not think to check the hoses on their washing
machine, but the hose carries pressurized water even when the washer
isn't running and can quickly fill a room if it bursts.
It's best to
check the hose for leaks or signs of deterioration once a month and
replace the hose before it fails. Depending on the material of the
hose, hoses typically last between two and five years.
TIPS: When replacing the hose, remember to always
first shut off the water supply to the washing machine.
- Make sure the new hose is free of kinks and tight bends when it
is installed.
- Keep at least four inches between the water connection and the
back of the washing machine.
- There are several thickness levels of hoses and different
materials from which to choose. Hoses with external steel braided
wire may be more costly
but have a lower failure rate.
