When to replace a washing machine inlet hose

The inlet hose sits under mains water pressure all day, every day, so it's one of the parts most likely to cause a flood. A double wall hose adds a second outer layer around the inner water line, giving extra protection if the inner hose weakens. Replace it if you see bulging, cracking, kinks, rust on the fittings or damp around either end. Checking hoses regularly and renewing them every few years is good practice for any washing machine.

Fitting the new inlet hose

Turn off the tap and unplug the washer, then undo the old hose at the tap and the back of the machine with a towel underneath to catch drips. Make sure there's a sealing washer in each end before screwing on the new hose hand tight, with a gentle nip from pliers if needed. Turn the tap on slowly and watch both ends for leaks.

Questions about this part

Can I use this hose on the hot tap?

Yes. The factory description lists it for hot and cold supply, so it can go on either tap. Check how many inlets are on the back of your machine and order one hose for each connection you need.
