Hoses that burst always give a warning first, at the 90 degree turns
either coming from the wall or at the washing machine connections. The
hoses will form a large bubble giving the home owner a warning 99
percent of the time. Look for this situation.
When replacing the hoses:
- Use steel braided hoses (they are less likely to rupture at the 90 degree bends).
- Turn off both hot and cold water supply and then remove the old hoses.
- Connect your new hoses to the washing machine first and tighten firmly. Make sure there are no kinks.
- Connect to the hot and cold water supply and tighten.
- Check for leaks!
