I'd hope the hoses that came with the washing machine would outlast the
machine. of course the more likely scenario is that the couplers can work
loose or the hose rub on something during spin and make it fail.
I'm afraid there is no simple answer there should have been a simple way
to detach the furniture, so to speak to get in and inspect stuff.

I was contemplating what the results would be if one or both hoses
failed while I was away. They ~look~ okay, but I can only see a part
of them. The rest is behind the w/m.
