New filling hose required?
I am about to get a replacement washing machine and noticed in one
manual that it states the old filling hose should never be reused when the machine is installed. I can see that it /might/ be better to replace it, (or at least replace the rubber washer where it screws onto the washing machine inlet) but if it is not leaking why is it essential to replace it? I must say that looking through specs and reviews of washing machines is quite possibly the most mind-numbing and madness-inducing activity I've experienced recently. Too much information! -- Jeff |

Have you found the instructions for the quick wash? I haven't asked my 6-year old grandson how to do it yet! :-) Looking at some of the specs was enough! It seems to me that the new machines are adding pointless functions on top of already pointless functions, and making it even more complicated. The "quick washes" seem to vary from brand to brand, and with some of the standard washes taking well over four hours I can see why they are needed. Actually, trying to find the "best" machine for our needs is a lot simpler in one way as "The Management" insists on a silver/grey/stainless steel colour to match everything else, and there are far fewer of those available now than several years ago. -- Jeff |

The commonest source of house flooding is Wm hoses splitting. I 'spect it's to avoid this. They go hard & inflexible with age. When moved/bent they can split. |

I found one that could actually do a 14 minute quick wash. Technical stuff like bedding is left to the gf as is loading up the tumble drier afterwards and then making up the bed. -- Adam |

Q: Do filling hoses last forever? A: No Q: Were you supplied with new hoses with the new machine? A: Yes. It'll only need a cold fill, but in any case I'll need a longer hose (at least 2,2m) as the WM is that far from the cold water supply, and it has to run behind the dishwasher. Seems to be a bit of a no brainier unless you like floods. Tim Well, it might be somewhat less clear than you think according to the reviews here reporting leaks with new or almost new hoses: https://www.screwfix.com/p/washing-machine-inlet-hose-blue-2-5m-x/10955 https://www.toolstation.com/washing-machine-hose/p17946 Similar with Wickes, although the B&Q one gets good reports. -- Jeff |

The supplied hoses are 1.5m so you'll need a 2.5m hose. Buy red ones, they're a pound cheaper than blue in the sheds, due to demand based pricing algorithms. -- Graham. %Profound_observation% |

In my household its either short or long wash at 30C or an occasional wash of (towels) at the highest temperature. You many pay £100s more for functions that are never used or for those that work no better than the basic functions. All machines will give timed washes at user selected temperatures. -- mailto : news {at} admac {dot} myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |

Sure, but it isnt necessarily the same 3 in all households and with modern electronic controls it doesnt cost anything to have more than 3/5 In my household its either short or long wash at 30C or an occasional wash of (towels) at the highest temperature. In mine its just one now, but its possible it might be more than one in the future.

Yes, the usual 'every day' wash, a hot wash and a quick wash. I have given up looking at specs for domestic appliances now, and just buy whatever is on offer at the time. They all do the same basic job whether fridge, washing machine or whatever. -- Graeme |

Don't agree with that with fridges and freezers, frost free works a hell of a lot better than the alternatives. And its not just not ever having to defrost the thing either, I have just discovered when I managed to completely fill my massive latest frost free freezer and had to start using one of the previous manual defrost freezers for the overflow that you don't get any buildup of ice in the food with the frost free, presumably because the freezing air that gets in to the freezer is completely dry with the frost free. And much better if you manage to not completely close the door too. The older manually defrosted freezer ended up with a massive amount of frost in it in that situation. The frost free doesn't because it maintains a positive presume of completely dry air too. Same with desktop ovens, digital air fryers work a lot better than the massive great wall ovens too for all but the biggest stuff like say an xmas turkey etc. |
