There is a small leak where the fill line meets the cold water input
to our Whirlpool washer, model number GSQ9300EQ0. The part number on
the hose is, PF149815. It's a 3/4" house. I went to Ace Hardware and
Home Depot and have not been unable to locate something that looks
similar to the original washer. The picture of the original washer
is he

told it's a cone washer but searching online it looks similar to a
beveled washer as well. Any suggestions from the experts out there?

Thanks for your reply.


All the clothes wasthers I know use garden faucet size hoses and
spigots. Go to the garden department and don't worry about the dome
in the center. If there is a choice, get the softer one. You
probably have to buy 5, but you can use the others in your garden.

And if you leave the spigots on all the time, replace your rubber
hoses with woven-stainless-steel covered hoses, before a hose bursts
and flood your home.


The hose is a woven-steel-stainless covered type. I'll replace the washer
with one of the garden type variety and see what happens.

Thanks for your reply.
