Hi,


A plumber told me that it's a good idea to shut off water from the
washer when it's not in use because the flexible lines aren't rated to
continuous pressure.


A. Is that true?
B. Does the same apply to the gas line for the dryer?


Many thanks in advance!

Get some better hoses (they do make them) and be done with it.

Gas line no problem.

anything can break at any time, messing with valves constantly can
lead to them failing too.

your water heater can start lkeaking too at any time
