Why Replace Your Washing Machine Hoses?
Replacing your washing machine hoses on a regular schedule can:
- Prevent Leaks and Bursts: Old or damaged hoses are a leading cause of water damage in homes.
- Resist Corrosion and Wear: Modern hoses, like braided stainless steel, are designed to withstand corrosion and degradation.
- Improve Appliance Longevity: Properly functioning hoses reduce stress on your washing machine.
- Handle Extreme Temperatures: High-quality hoses can better withstand fluctuations in water temperature, ensuring safe and efficient operation.
When Should You Replace Your Hoses?
We recommend replacing your washing machine hoses every 5 years, or sooner if:
- You have hard water, which accelerates wear and tear.
- Your current hoses are made of rubber instead of braided stainless steel.
- The hoses show signs of kinking, fraying, stiffness, or leaks.
If your hoses fall into any of these categories, it’s time to replace them immediately to avoid potential disasters.
