Being agreeable requires the least effort on my part! I’ve had quite a day already, and tomorrow is Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, St. Nicholas’ Day, and a visit from “Expert Appliance Repair” to fix the leak on the washer.

Der Prinz should be home from the Pack Committee meeting, bearing a Restorative, about the time I get the byos and grils to bed.

I’m impressed. Does it have anything to do with fixing my leaky washer?

I’m anticipating that the nice Russian man from Expert Appliance will find that the hose connection isn’t quite secure, even though my husband insists it is. Appliances are not Der Prinz’s best thing.

It was a simple pun.

Washers are prone to having problems with their hoses. It is a good idea, just on general principles, to replace the hoses you have with high-strength ones, which have braided metal exteriors.

It is an even better idea to use a ganged shut-off valve for the supply lines, and turn the pressure off when it is not needed.

That wouldn’t work for you. There is another technique, somewhat high-tech, which detects a busted hose and shuts off the water supply.

These things deal with catastrophic leakage. Your problem may well be just a loose connection.

At my house, the answer to that is provided by vise-grips.

I really like vise-grips. Only problem is, I loaned my only pair. It was small enough to fit my hand, but it seems to have become extremely convenient for the borrower.

I priced one the other day of the same size. *gasp*

Sometimes you can buy a whole set of them. Now may be a good time to look.

Let’s see, one to gift wrap for this person, one for that, and one to keep. Shopping done!

We have only a drip. The washer sits in a plastic dish that catches it, since the laundry room is upstairs.

Trust me: If I bought a whole set of them, none would leave my tool box except if I’m using them. :o]

They make cheap knockoffs that can sometimes be useful.

Visegrip has come out with a motorized adjustment wrench. Trying to improve on perfection.

I don’t need anything more than a basic vicegrip. Why tempt someone? I mean, my truck seems to be a thief magnet, and I sure don’t want my tools to be!

STEP 1 for any laundry area is to replace those fussy “wrist exerciser” gate valves with nice, lever-handled ball valves; crank the lever 90 degrees to open, 90 degrees to close.

If you’re REALLY interested in getting it “right” you can toss in a normal gate valves upstream from each ball valve, for positive shut-off. And, if you REALLY want to “do it right”, you can also install small “bleed valves” on the downstream side, plumbed to the drain, so that after the ball valves are cranked shut you can depressurize the hoses. But that’s way over-the-top for the average residential laundry facility.

If you just stick with two ball valves, you’ll be happiest.

Commute time!! YIPPEEEE!!

"... replace those fussy “wrist exerciser” gate valves with nice, lever-handled ball valves ..."

The device I was recommending couples two ball valves together to shut off hot and cold with one lever operation.

Here's a nice system
