A small leak can lead to a big problem. Appliance hoses are often overlooked until they fail – and by then, the damage can be expensive. Replacing your washer, dishwasher, and icemaker hoses on a regular schedule is an easy, affordable way to prevent water damage and keep your home safe.

Why Hoses Fail

Over time, hoses can weaken due to water pressure, heat, and age. Rubber hoses in particular can develop cracks or bulges that lead to sudden bursts. Stainless steel braided hoses last longer but still need periodic inspection and replacement.

Recommended Replacement Intervals

Most manufacturers recommend replacing hoses every five years – sooner if you notice signs of wear. Check for leaks around the fittings and replace immediately if you see any moisture, corrosion, or kinks.

OEM Hoses Offer Superior Safety

Genuine OEM hoses are built to the appliance manufacturer’s exact specifications for pressure rating, diameter, and material quality. This ensures a tight, secure seal and reliable performance under daily use.
