Replacing your washing machine hoses is an essential maintenance task that can prevent water damage and extend the life of your appliance. Here's a step-by-step guide to replacing your washing machine hoses correctly:

1. Gather Your Supplies:

   • New washing machine hoses (preferably stainless steel-braided)

   • Adjustable pliers

   • Bucket

   • Towels

2. Turn Off the Water Supply: Locate the hot and cold water valves behind your washing machine and turn them off completely.

3. Unplug the Washing Machine: For safety, always unplug your washing machine before working on it.

4. Disconnect the Old Hoses:

   • Place a bucket and towels beneath the connections to catch any residual water.

   • Use pliers to loosen the hose connections at both the wall and the washing machine.

   • Carefully remove the old hoses.

5. Inspect the Connections: Check both the wall connections and the washing machine inlets for any signs of damage or wear.

6. Install the New Hoses:

   • Attach the new hoses to the washing machine first, hand-tightening them.

   • Connect the other ends to the appropriate wall valves (hot to hot, cold to cold).

   • Use pliers to tighten all connections, but be careful not to over-tighten.

7. Turn On the Water and Check for Leaks:

   • Slowly turn on the water supply valves.

   • Check all connections for any signs of leaking.

   • If you spot any leaks, tighten the connections slightly more.

8. Plug In and Test: Plug your washing machine back in and run a short cycle to ensure everything is working correctly.

Remember to replace your washing machine hoses every 3-5 years, even if they appear to be in good condition. This proactive approach can prevent unexpected failures and water damage.

If you're unsure about any step in this process or encounter any difficulties, it's always best to err on the side of caution. For professional assistance, call the plumbing experts at Roto-Rooter. Their skilled technicians can ensure your washing machine hoses are replaced correctly, giving you peace of mind and protecting your home from potential water damage.
