Whether washing machine hoses are made of black rubber or stainless steel, washer hoses need to be replaced about every three to five years. If it’s been that long, or if the hoses are showing signs of wear, it can be easy to replace them if you follow these simple steps:

（1）Turn off the water supply. This is the first step to any plumbing repair job!

（2）Run the washing machine for a few minutes to drain any remaining water out of the hoses and prevent a spill when you unhook them.

（3）Unplug the washing machine and pull it out from the wall. There will be three hoses: a large drain hose and two smaller ones for hot and cold water. The smaller ones are what you’ll be replacing.

（4）Place a bucket under the connection to catch any remaining water and use a pipe wrench to remove the old washer hoses.

（5）Make sure that the rubber washer is properly placed in the hose connectors and attach the new hoses. Some plumber’s grease might be helpful here.

（6）Tighten all four connections until you feel strong resistance, then slowly turn on the water supply to check for leaks. Having another person slowly turn on the water can help with this part.

（7）Push the washing machine back into place, leaving at least 4 inches of space between the machine and the wall so that the hoses don’t kink.

    You’ve done it! Now you’ll just need to check the hoses periodically for leaks, and replace them immediately if you see any signs that they’re wearing out.
