Default Washing Machine Pipe

Hi,

When I connected my washing machine to the cold water feed to leaks ever so
slightly. I am presuming that there is a washer in the end of the connection
hose from the washing machine that has gone. Does this sound likely and are
these a standard part you can get from any DIY shop (B&Q etc...).

Thanks in advance,

CM.

If you can't find the correct washers, use a 20mm grommet of the type used
in socket backboxes - the sheds all sell them.

Although they are meant to be a hand tight fitting sometimesw they
need an extra nipping up with a pair of grips or pliers.

Yes, if the above doesn't stop it you should be able to find some
suitable washers, best bet would be a smaller hardware or domestic
apliance store as you'll probably be able to get one for a few pence
as opposed to packs of however many for a few pounds from the likes of
B&Q
