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.


I'd use an _Inlet Washer with Cone Filter_

YMMV


I tried that cone washer from your above link. It leaked right away. Then I
went to the local plumbing supply store, Ferguson, they didn't have the
correct part either. The consensus seems to be that the washer is a custom
part made just for that particular hose. I noticed that the new 3/4" hoses
don't use that type of washer but the smaller hoses, for example a
dishwasher fitting, use that cone washer. I guess they really want you to
buy a new hose.

Thanks for your reply.
