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.
