Hi All,

My Maytag manual says to replace washer water hoses
every five years. I presume they are talking about
those all rubber hoses.

Does this five year replacement plan also apply
to my (expensive) stainless steel mesh reinforced hoses?

Many thanks,

$20-$25 for new set of hoses, thousands to replace the water damage if they
let go. Your call....

Well, potentially if it can flood a finished area. If the washer is say
in an unfinished basement, the potential damages may be less than the
cost of the hoses.
